When I pointed out the whole "NVIDEA-MACBOOK PRO SAGA" genius bar member ( she was nice and empathetic) said to me that the problem with my GRAPHICS CARD was not the same problem. Today I get a call advising me that their diagnostic test LO AND BEHOLD highlighted that their "GRAPHICS CARD" ( Nvidea ) had failed. Yesterday when I rang them again, I was advised that they were running more tests to make sure it was the Logic Board. Initially they said that I could not get this by email. I wanted to find out the exact details of what's wrong with the Logic Board and waited to hear from them for two days. On Monday the Apple store informed me it was my Logic Board.
#Macbook pro mid 2010 kernel panic Pc#
It has lasted just 1.5 years and as a student I just don't have the funds to get this fixed (could probably get a decent PC for that money). Instead, I get an email advising me that I have to physically go to the store to get the technical details of the fault.This is so disappointing. I wanted the technical details of the fault emailed to me so I could get a second opinion. Today I was advised by a store personnel that it was a "Logic Board " fault and had to be replaced (costs approx 400GBP). This time I was advised that the technicians would run a detailed diagnostic test and they suspected that it was a Logic Board or RAM issue. But it wasn't the case and I had to travel to go again. I was advised to delete Sophos and everything would be fine. I recently took it to Genius Bar in UK and was advised it was a 3rd party conflict (Sophos anti-virus) issue. However, after not bothering with it for many hours (busy with work) I would be able to turn the machine on and use it for 5-15mins and would experience another kernel panic.

Started getting kernel panics recently and after every panic attack the machine would beep 3 times repeatedly. There is no guarantee that this will repair your problem and no warranty expressed or implied if you destroy your machine.I purchased my Macbook pro 1.5 years ago in Aug 2010 (did not purchase Apple care for extended warranty).

This will NOT always fix the problem, but does a good amount of the time. You will have to scrape away the ground plane with tweezers or a fiberglass pen in order to make this fit. If you have a 2010 15" Macbook Pro with an 820-2850 board with random kernel panics, this will often fix your problem. There is no guarantee that this will repair your problem and no warranty expressed or implied if you destroy your machine. You may have to run a wire from the ground side to ground and have it up in the air depending on the board. This cap WILL NOT FIT without some creative modifying. You can confirm this cap is bad with a small bit of heat - it will work again until it cools down. It is too small and the single small tantalum cap is not fit for this circuit, it dies, and causes machine to not turn on when it gets cold. USB-C 13" Retina Macbook Pro NO touchbar.
