Mid 2011 iMac 21.5. Console Log is a Nutter.

Hi,

After I post them I went back to see if they would be full screen but they’re not so I included the zoom function.

I got it with High Sierra but It’s now Sierra. Updated from iTunes.

Im pretty sure it checked the firmware because I don’t really know what it is, so I remember checking it.

Its running AHT just now because it’s slow as **** and very hot on the back. I changed HDD and bought OWC’s cable for fan control but now it’s very, very hot.

Ive run this test before on this machine with the original 500GB and then again with this new one. Both times I got an error.

Try and find that just now.

Hi,

So AHT came back with nothing found. It took forever to just probe the computer.

Fireware and security updates are all up to date.

I think the fact that after being repaired by Apple the serial number was missing plays a big part. Yes, I put the number back in but maybe incorrectly. Not in the sense that the number is wrong but maybe I’ve missed something given the fact that the errors stopped only to return later.

I’m gonna just erase the drive and install Lion and see what it’s like. My guess is it’s going to be the same.

I’ll post when that’s done but I’m not hopeful.

Thanks for your help.

Reading at 6 in the morning.

Nice outside. I can hear my bikes calling me. “Take me to Peebles” they say......

Apologies. Just spotted this.

Going through it now. I’ll get back to you soon. Thanks for taking the time.

Cheers.

SEB...........????????????

Hi there,

Did that. No dice.

Apple were less than useless.

Wouldn’t give me any details about it’s history. I called reseller as per advice from Apple.

They did some digging and said yes replaced logic board, 2013.

So called Apple, told them that they replaced but did not flash (their words) the number.

Too late. No warranty for part now. But it’s your fault I tell them. “Bring it in but could cost around £190. Oh wait it’s over 7 years old. We don’t deal with them”

But-you-never-fixed-it-correctly!!!

Reseller, “nope too old”.

Computer Division in Stirling:

yeh £90! Then call next day okay it’ll be £290 with HDD!

Just the number!! No £150 labor charge.

Next day, “we can’t fix it”.

£50 on petrol so these idiots can talk mince and do nothing.

Like I say. Friendly gent pointed me to .dmg which was the Apple software to ‘flash’ number. For free, not 190 or 90. For not a penny.

Thought that was that but na.

Will format to Snow Leopard today hopefully. Erase the drive.

Ended up getting a person who admitted fault but Apple still would not fix it.

so wrote nice, pleasant email to uk Head Office to see what my rights are(if any).

Thanks.

I await a team of engineers. I’m sure that response I will get. It’s Apple after all.
