My macbook pro os x sierra 10.12.3 keeps crashing and report AirPortBrcm4360 issue
What helped me:
- Using OS X Mavericks (default OS for my laptop, didn't have a chance to use Sierra/ElCapitan)
- Using any usb wifi adapter;
- Using native wifi but power adapter is connected
- Using native wifi on battery but it should be charged > 45%
What didn't help:
- OS reinstall (with/without disk formatting)
- Remove wifi, airport etc config files
- Reset SMC
- Reset NVRAM
- Look for updates (no updates available)
What I did else:
- Launched Apple Hardware test (OK)
- Launched some apple benchmarks (Geekbench 4, Blackmagic Disk speed test) (all OK)
- Launched Coconut Battery (got 7193 mAh, designed 8440 mAh)
Other problems I found:
- Can't turn the mac on (or wake it up) when the battery is low than 40%. But if I don't shut it down or hibernate it works down to 0%
I have no proofs but I think the problem is in the combination of soft wifi and battery status.
