MacBook Pro 2017 15" kernel panic after going to sleep

sszuecs, no, the hardware is not dameged. it is impossible to destroy hardware by a software update (exception would be a software which lets the computer run at high power while shutting off the fans, so that the computer melts)

Hi sfoiphone -

When you were told that the mainboard needed to be replaced at the Apple Store, was this covered by AppleCare, warranty, etc.? I ask because I bought my 2017 MBP 2nd-hand and don't have AppleCare to cover the cost of a repair like that (that one can't be cheap - I've read somewhere in the range of 3/4 the cost of the entire laptop). It's 2019 so I'm a year past the 1-Year warranty but I really feel like Apple should be covering this one, considering the high number of reports of this exact same issue across this site and many others.

Glad you were able to get your machine fixed. I appreciate the info!

Exactly same problem here after security update 2019-004 - macOS 10.13.6 - Macbook Pro 13" 2017 Touchbar (A1502).

I also still got a defective Keyboard (sticky N, O, etc...) but I assume the logic board is not part of that repair?

... the new 004 update is working fine on my 2016 15" MBP TB.

Thank you Apple, wish you'd communicate better with the user base !

The older 004 update had worked fine on my MacPro3,1 (running the dosdude high sierra patcher with a Nvidia card). I'm now awaiting a new Nvidia driver update to get the MacPro back up and running !

Same. Unfortunately I upgraded to High Sierra hoping to fixate problem, it didn't, and I ended up with a piece of software that is no longer usable in this OS. So bad on Apple all around, especially the lack of communication. Wouldn't have known about the update without this forum and it makes you wonder how many people are both gun-shy now AND not following the issue here. Bad communication followed a bad update.

Hi Guys

I had the same thing, only worse. I installed the security update and my 2013 iMac crashed during the process.

Upon reboot the screen no longer works. All I get is a black screen.

I used a lightning to AVG adaptor to plug into a Sony TV screen and was able to boot up.

I tried resetting SMC and PVram to no avail.

Took it into an Apple authorised repair after speaking to Apple Support. The result is that the screen is now officially declared dead! Apple say I must pay for a new screen!

This is madness. How can they release an update that effectively renders my iMac unusable without an external display and not take any responsibility?

Im trying to escalate this through Apple support at the moment.

I updated 2019-004 on July 23.

MacBook Pro 2017 15

have same bug!!!

Could I return 2019-003?

or updating to Mojava can solve the problem?

Same problem

Same problem here after installing the latest OSX security update for 10.13.6

Apple should work on finding a solution.

Great thank you let me try that too

I already tried first aid , cleaning cache , reset PRAM but nothing worked for me.

Thank you tynr

Installing right now, I'll let you know...

I would be much happier if Apple provided a fix for the problem which they caused for countless customers, rather than forcing everyone to waste a lot of time to install a new operating system.

thank you for the information

MBP TB 15" 2017, updated to 2019-004, same problem.

Update to Mojave does not solve it.
