MacBook is very slow

Hello everyone!

I have the Mid 2011 13 inch 1.7GHz MacBook Air.

After the battery died, it has been very slow. I have done some research into this and found people talking about something called Intel Speedstep, which throttles the system if the battery is not functioning.

I do not want to buy a battery for this system, so I want to know if there is an easy way to disable speedstep.

Thanks for any answers.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Run the onboard diagnostics to see what's up. Restart your system and press the D key to ender into it. Let us know what you get.

Reference: Mac startup key combinations

Hello,

The diagnostics test said that it had no issues found.

At this point you’ll need to find your way to someone which can do deeper diagnostics of your logic board.

You might want to try reformatting your drive and install a fresh OS.
