Panic report

Hi ..

Uninstall Little Snitch > Uninstall Little Snitch

You may also need to Reset your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM

I've seen numerous threads here where LIttle Snitch was the culprit from a panic report.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested. Back up all data before you go.

It's a logic-board fault common to some MBP models.

You need to have the machine tested. That's all I can tell you, not having had the problem myself.

Frequent Panic NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read...: Apple Support Communities

Hi Skibstead & Linc,

My MBP Mid 2010 17" has the 330M NVidia card and after more than 30 Panic "NVRM[0/1:0:0]: Read Error 0x00000100" then after many other "solutions" that failed, the one that stopped these panics was to download gfxCardStatus from http://codykrieger.com/gfxCardStatus and set this to only use the internal Intel HD graphics. Thus, I have confirmed the problem to be the logic board that includes the 330M NVidia graphics card. I have also confirmed it is not a CPU or GPU temperature or graphics switching but the panics always occur within a set time period but not at a precise time after reboot.

Now, I have found Apple have offered free returns for another NVidia 8600 card at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377 but I've not found one for the 330M 😟 Similarly, Apple will replace the logic board of MBP Mid 2010 15" given http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US but I've not found one for the 17" 😢 but I've found there are thousands of complaints along these same line.

Do either of you know if there is an Apple policy or notice to also replace the logic board of a MBP Mid 2010 17" with the same problem that plagued the 15"? I would like to quote this when I visit our local Genius to stop any debates. We'll see what happens.

In conclusion, I am amazed that Apple is not more proactive about issues like these. The countless panic dumps that have been sent to them should have raised alarm bells. There are many cases of customers saying this is their last Apple after being a faithful customer for years. For one of the World's most profitable enterprises, this is not a good show all. For me, I'll reserve my final judgement until after my visit to the Genius.

In contrast, my 5-year-old Dell Inspiron 9400 is still going strong. Even after I replaced, you guessed-it, a NVidia GeForce Go 7800 graphics card that caused panic-stricken crashes. This card got cooked to well over 80C which I now prevent by 6-monthly fan cleaning. With the MBP, I've no evidence of high-temperature conditions affecting the 330M, but the time it took before the first panic (6 months), then the next (another 6 months or so) until it settled-down to frequent panics suggests an aging or temperature-related root cause is the problem.

Many thanks if you reply.

Hi Michael,

I'm having the same problem, random shutdowns, hardware test resulted in Logic Board issue, running a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M Video card.

Can you send links to the complaints you have found along the same issues, so we can collate them to hit apple with them, as I'm not happy at all about this.

Hi Waitatian,

The best discussion about this issue is at: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3114550?start=0&tstart=0. Apple will replace the logic board of Mid 2010 15" MBPs with this issue but for the 17", I've had to take this up with Apple Care who passed it on to Apple Engineering in Australia for verification & endorsement of a free repair if it's proven to be the same issue. I'm awaiting their final feedback.

Good Luck!

Hi Bikegreeny,

thanks, I have seen and noted that they did it with 15inchers but not 17". I'm taking it up with applecare as well, after ringing three times I talked to my local apple shop, they said to just perservere, so I rang apple again, was transferred to a specialist in customer care. Apple are paying for me to get my computer to the shop ($75) so they can figure out what's wrong. I'm totally perservering with this. 🙂 Keep in touch, the more of us there are the better. 🙂

Good luck to you as well.

I have problem with black screen. Please, help me.

If yours is a 15" MacBook Pro 6,2, there is a recall program in place for it. It is described in this article:

TS4088- http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010): Intermittent black screen or loss of video

PRINT out a copy of the article as a hedge against "we never heard of this." and take it to your appointment at the genius bar. Do not leave until they have run the special VST test that ends in a remarkable PASSED or FAILED screen. [The typical "overnight bake" will not find this problem].

N.B.> Even if the problem is detected, the time for free replacement may have already passed.

If they refuse to accept it for free repair under the program, the store manager may have additional latitude to help you. You MUST be polite and professional at all times. Apple wants you to be a happy customer. Folks who shout and threaten to sue everyone will never be a happy customer, so all they get is to be shown the door.

If the time has expired and you are not willing to pay for the repair yourself, downgrading Mac OS X will make the problem far less likely to occur.
