Randomly shuts down and resets clock
My Macbook Pro randomly shuts down (plugged in and unplugged) and when i turn it on again it resets the clock to 2001 and loads of popups come up asking for permissions etc.
Before this week it happened a couple of times in the last few months but i never really thought anything of it. Then last week i dropped it off the end of my bed and it's been happening a lot more (tonight for instance it's happened over 5 times when i've tried moving it or unplugging the charger). Now, nothing happens when i move it or unplug it but i guarantee it will do it again sometime in the near future.
Also before i reset the SMC, when i clicked on the battery health at the top of my screen, it said that "Condition: replace now". I reset the SMC and now it says "Condition: Normal".
Anyway, what i'm here to ask is...is it something to do with the battery (84% health, 541 cycles) or something more serious, i.e some hardware damaged when i dropped it? Why would it shut down randomly when picking the macbook up (whilst still on charge)? Why would it shut down when unplugging it?
Any help would be really appreciated as it's not under warranty anymore :) If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask!
Update
Hey,
I took it to an apple store and they had a look and couldn't find anything wrong with it hardware-wise. They suggested reinstalling the OS as a last resort as they couldn't see anything wrong with it, so they did and it's been fine ever since. No idea why this would make it shut down when moved/unplugged...
I'd suggest backing everything up before you go to them incase they do it there and then.
Sorry i couldn't be of much help, but i'm sure the people in your local apple store will be much more helpful (it's free to book an appointment btw).
Is this a good question?
