Q: SMC problems, striped screen?
Hi guys!
I've been having some trouble with my apple 15 inch 2012 pro 8 RAM. The trouble started a few months back, when I put my laptop in my backpack while it was still on - came home, it was turned off with fans blowing. Googled it, reset the SMC a few times - worked fine. Today when I tried to power on the laptop it started beeping. I reset the SMC again, it turned on and after a while a striped screen showed. The picture here shows the screen: [IMG]http://i67.tinypic.com/23m23gm.jpg[/IMG]
I turned the computer off, reset the PRAM/NVRAM, and currently it's working fine. I'm afraid the motherboard might be defect, does anybody recognise these problems and be able to help me with it? I'll go to the genius bar but before I do that I would like to see if there is anything I can do.
Maybe some important details: there are currently two harddrives in the laptop, one with Windows on it, and one SSD with the apple partition. I use the laptop very intensively, with heavy designer programs etc.
Thanks,
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2012), iOS 9.2.1
