#smc reset

apple chat: Have you tried resetting the SMC?

Soo... my Macbook is acting pretty weird for a few days now. It shuts down unexpectantly even when it’s like 80 per cent charged or simply freezes. Also my fans start to run at a high speed and are really loud even though all I did was to turn on the laptop and check my emails - they have never done this before.

After some research, Apple Support told me to do a SMC-Reset in this case. It sounds rather easy to do and not too dangerous.

My problem is, I always get nervous as fuck when I have to do things like this for I fear to damage something anyway or get logged out aka change my settings.

To everyone who already had experience with an SMC-Reset : Did problems occur after? Or did it change your settings or anything else? Please, let me know, I’d highly appreciate it.

[cfsp key="adsense_336x280"]“You may have seen or heard the growing disquiet about Yosemite and Wi-Fi. Like me, you may even be affected,” Paul Ducklin reports for Naked Security. “No-one seems to know what’s wrong, and without a scientific explanation it’s hard to know where to lay the blame.”

“Yosemite itself could have introduced a bug; or your hardware might be affected by a reliability…
