More MacBook Shutdowns, Finally a Fix?
It’s been a while. After writing about my second bout of random shutdowns on my MacBook and then getting it back fixed again, what should happen about a week later but more random shutdowns.
It turns out that the previous two fixes weren’t really fixes at all, just band-aids at best. Apple apparently hadn’t conclusively figured out the root cause of the shutdowns until just a few weeks ago. Now it seems that they have figured it out, and the problem is related to the heat sink, but requires a new logic board as well.
So, I dutifully and regretfully took my MacBook in to Apple once again and suffered alone with my PC for a few days. This time they replaced the heat sink and the logic board with a newly redesigned logic board that apparently prevents the damage that an overly active heat sink can inflict.
So after catching up on other aspects of life again, I’m back happily using my Mac.
