I talked to store managers and complained, and called customer support and complained there as well, and no one could do anything for me. This is definitely my last Apple product. They took it back for repair under warranty with the assumption that it was a bad logic board, but told me they were making an exception on the warranty because I "modified" it, and they shouldn't really repair it.This is the end of the line for me. My new 3 week old 2011 MBP took a dump after updating the EFI today.Took it into an Apple Store, and they tried to tell me that it was because I had upgraded the HDD to an SSD myself, and that the hard drive swap was probably what caused the EFI to break everything.
#MACBOOK PRO EFI FIRMWARE UPDATE 2.2 HOW TO#
If anyone actually figures out how to fix this I'd love to hear how!!! Doesn't make any sense, on a PC, system Bios can be downgraded which is really the same thing or very similar.Īpple makes a pretty good product, but it seems over the years they have a habit of shooting themselves in the foot and alienating customers because of stupid pet tricks like this. Once it's done it can never be undone, according to what I have read anyway. I should hear something tomorrow I hope from the technicians at Apple - I'm sure I'm going to have to take this to a support center and have the motherboard replaced because the EFI is not reverseable.
#MACBOOK PRO EFI FIRMWARE UPDATE 2.2 INSTALL#
At least now I have a fresh clean install of Lion, not an upgrade from Snow Leoppard.īut, two times during the Lion internet recovery while it was still doing the initial load of files from the internet it crashed with the black screen mentioned previously. I even re-installed LION using the internet recovery option. I'm so ticked!!! I have been on the phone with Apple support, and they sent it to the system engineers because the main technicians have exhausted all of their possible fixes. This started within a short time after my EFI update, and I NEVER ONCE even had a crash on this machine before. Once in a while it will do the whole Kernel Panic with the mult-language screen. After my update, which went fine, my computer started occasionally going black with a single line vertical line of pixels on the leftmost side of the screen. I have had a similar issue as you and a bunch of other posts.
