[QUOTE="lclev, post: 1656565, member: 307555"] Are there problems that necessitate updating the EFI and SMC? Posting what they are might be useful in providing more help. I gather you have a 2010 15" Macbook Pro that you have updated to Yosemite. I assume you have checked to see what versions of EFI and SMC your Mac is running in the About this Mac -> system report -> hardware section and the version numbers are lower than the updates you downloaded. I ask this as updates of EFI and SMC I believe should normally be taken care of automatically through app store updates. At this point your Lion DVD's will not help you since you are running Yosemite unless you plan to reinstall Lion and wipe Yosemite. To reinstall Yosemite you now have to do an online recovery and download a fresh install of Yosemite unless you created an install USB of Yosemite. Lisa [/QUOTE]
