I purchased my MacBook Pro in April 2006, and started experiencing the shut down about 6 months later… for about a month, and then a blessed five month reprieve… now suddenly it begins again…! There is no explanation for this phenom. I still love my computer… and hope for a miracle!

I have no idea why it shuts down, or when it just does. It sucks because i use my laptop for school and i cant have my computer shutdown on me while i’m taking notes. It happened again for the first time in about a month today while i was in class, thankfully before the professor posted any notes. It’s weird, it will shut down, then i’ll turn it back on, and once it full loads, it’ll shut off again, and do this 3-4 more times before it decides to stay on by itself. Also, the battery on this machine is terrible. I get about an 1 hour and 20 minutes per full charge, with the backlight on the lowest setting, and airport on, bluetooth off. I thought the random shutting down had something to do with the battery and its short lifespan, but after reading multiple posts about the same problem, i don’t think it’s the batter.

My macbook was purchased in Australia in Sept 2007. In January 2008 it began randomly shutting down. No reason at all. I don’t think I’ve actually turned it off myself in a month. Leave it for long enough and it will do it itself. Sometimes it will turn off after 10 mins of use, other times it will go for a few hours. I took it back to the place I purchased it from, and still being under warranty, they confirmed the problem and replaced the logic board. Got it back and after one day it continued it’s usual habit of shutting down all the time.
So now it is back getting fixed. I have no faith that it will be. I’m sure that they will replace something else in the hope this will do something. Assuming that it wont I have written emails demanding a replacement for the whole machine. I will let you know if I am successful. Otherwise I will join the the long line of macbook owners who have purchased a very expensive paperweight.
Wish me luck, and also wish me luck as I attempt to write a thesis without a functioning computer, which is the purpose for which I bought it in the first place. If I fail university this year we can all thank Apple for ending my academic career. You know what… Bill Gates ain’t lookin so bad right now…

Hi everybody, I’m a new (desperate) member: I purchased a macbook exactly 20 days ago in Italy, encouraged by everybody to buy apple because of the reliability of the brand, the quality of products and the customer after-sale services.
my macbook has been running strangely hot for a week and, more worrying, when I want to shut it down, it delays the process or it crashed and I have to force the shutting down. In addition, the customer service phone line does not answer and the store where I purchased discarded any responsibility, saying the apple directly interfaces with clients. Any idea about my problem? what could be the causes? software or hardware issues?
I’m really disappointed with my macbook problems only after 20 days!!!!!
