Well, I figured it out. When I resized my Bootcamp partition, I used EaseUS utility. Turned out this soft changed my APFS partition type. I used GPT DISK (gdisk) to repair this and everything is on place, with no harm to the data. How I repaired this? I booted to Windows on bootcamp...

Hello everyone, Recently, I decided to do a clean install on my MacBook Pro. To preserve my system, I cloned everything (macOS + Bootcamp Windows) onto an external hard drive. Using this external drive, I was able to boot directly into my old system and access all of my files without any...

Well, I finally figured it out. I ran ASD (Apple Service Diagnostic) and find out that my macbook pro was alright except for a sensor in the CPU die. The exact error is : "Sensor - Temperature (TC1C) -- CPU Die - Digital Core 2 (test 1) - Sensor reads Within Operating Range ERROR - Sensor is...

BIG UPDATE : I recently changed the whole screen top case of the macbook, wipe the SSD and did a new clean install of Big Sur 11.7 and the problem still occurs. I found a workaround, the problem disappears completely when I connect my Mac via HDMI to a monitor.

Hi @mrmike16, Yeah, I tought that too and did a clean install...it doesn't work. So now I'm compelled to keep the Windows 10 running on my macbook pro =(

Hi @mrmike16 I did run the macOS diagnosis (restart and press D), I have the code ADP000, which is "no problem detected". And as I said, I suspected the battery also so I replace it with another genuine battery from the same model. It works like a charm but the issue of shut down is still here.

Hi @BEAUFORD_SAVAGE, thanks for your answer. Well I actually did the clean. I thought it was a problem of overheating too. After cleaning the case and the two fans, I installed TG Pro to monitor the whole stuff. But the issue persists and had nothing to do with overheating (53° to 70° when the...

Hi, I have an issue with my Macbook Pro 15 retina mid-2014. It occurs when the mac is on battery power, out of nowhere, the screen starts flickering and then the laptop shut down completely a few seconds later (sometimes it does not shut down, only the screen flickers but the shut down is more...
