Apple Store Genius States the Official Fix
Filed in: Random Shutdown Add comments
Well, my Blackbook has been having the random shutdown problem, like many others, so I lined up a time to meet with a Genius. He said Apple’s official fix is to replace the logic board and the heatsink. In addition, he acknowledged that other MacBook users have been experiencing the same issue. He was actually honest with me, which I was very surprised at. Probably the most decent Genius anyone on this site could have run into =)

I ordered my wife a macbook about a week and a half ago online and just received an email saying they were delaying shipping until the 25th … thats over 3 weeks before it ships and that does not count shipping time. I can’t imagine what is taking so long, I mean, if I would have known it was going to take this long, I just would have went to the Apple store in town.
I will just hope they are fixing the problems with it secretly before the ship it.

I wouldn’t go to the Apple Store and get one. The reason why it is taking so long is they are probably going to make sure it has a good logic board in it. You will be making a big mistake if you get one from the apple store. You will have to take it in for repairs.
