My MBP early-11 is extremely slow after a fall. Superficial diagnostics showed no errors.

Hello! 🙂


Two days ago I fell down the stairs (just two steps) with my MBP in a laptop-bag. 😐 Since than I have a serious problem with my Mac: it runs just like Windows ME after 3 months of installation (extremely slow, hangs for a long time...). 😟 Details below...


First of all, setup:

MacBook Pro 8,1 / early-2011

CPU: IC i5 2,3 GHz

RAM: 10 GB 1333 MHz (8+2)

Storage: 1 encrypted (AES-XTS) partition (GPT, GUID) on 240 GB SSD by Kingston

No optical drive (I mounted HDD instead - for backups and trash files, it's ok but unplugged right now)

OS: OS X El Capitan 10.11.6


What's exactly going on? Booting takes a little longer and there is a "forbidden sign" for a few seconds on the way. After booting, every single operation (like opening menu after clicking an Apple icon in upper left corner) takes 20 to 40 seconds. Moving window, minimalizing, everything...


Dmesg in terminal reports some problems with cache in com.apple.coresymbolicationd, I'll try to paste it somewhere soon.


TechTool Pro 9 scanned laptop and it passed all the tests (SSD, RAM, CPU etc).


I can't boot into an Apple Hardware Test, it just doesn't happen (with D or opt-D).


Verbose mode reports some errors, but I can't read it (it goes too fast).


PS: Pardon my English, I'm not a native.


Please, help! I can't visit Apple Service right now, but I need my smart and quick MB back. 😟

MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), null
