Apple MacBook Pro SMC Firmware Troubleshooting ReportFurther to my "lock up" post - Version: 1.3, 6/21/2009 03:07PM PST

This was determined to be a sleep and re=awake problem.

Was advised by Apple support to:

Remove the ethernet driver from the "Network" preference panel (this is on the left side of the panel - remove using the '-' key)

Re-add the ethernet driver (using the "+" key) and make sure that it is active (it may say "not connected" but it is still 'active')

Close the preference panels and restart just to make sure that all the software connections are made.

Problem went away for me.

Apple MacBook Pro SMC Firmware ReviewSystem locks up after installation - Version: 1.3, 6/19/2009 02:57PM PST

It is very consistent: I close the lid, come back in 10 minutes and there is not response from the system except that screen shows the state of the screen when I closed it.

No cursor. No response to any key.

Can only turn off and turn on.

For me, this firmware update is a disaster.

Now, if I can only find a way to back it out.

Blessings to those that do not have problems.

Apple MacBook Pro SMC Firmware CommentaryDoes it work OK with 'Fan Control?' - Version: 1.3, 5/29/2009 03:39AM PST

Just wondering if anyone using Lobotomo Software's free Fan Control has applied this firmware update...and if Fan Control still works OK.
