So, The Apple Genius did his thing and found absolutely nothing wrong with the SMC according to their in house testing. He did find an error with the SSD, or the SSD socket. However he also noted that it seems to be working fine even though it shows an error. When the computer was being tested the fans did not spin up to full speed either. Now that I have it at home its again giving an SMC error when I run diagnostics, and the fans are running up. So, No real answers for all my efforts. The Genius concurred that the thermal paste replacement I did wouldn't cause this. So it may be an intermittent problem and the seller knew this, hence the fairly good price I got it for. I'm going to buy a logic board. It would be required for either of the above errors. It seems whatever is going on that should fix it. Thanks for everyone's feedback and help on this issue Keir
