MacBook Pro is back from repair
The MacBook Pro is back from 3 weeks repair to solve the shutdown problem.
The logic board and the LCD panel had been replaced with a new one. I’ve been trying to crash the notebook by putting stress on the cpu and try to heat it up.
- Connect the notebook to the Apple Cinema Display
- Encode a DVD with HandBrake
- Open Terminal.app and type
yes > /dev/null &
press enter - Type
yes > /dev/null &
press enter - Open a lot of quicktime movie trailers and play it.
- Turn the heater on
- Activate screensaver
In the past, doing the above mentioned steps would shutdown the machine once it got to 80 degrees celcius. I used CoreDuoTemp to monitor the temperature of the notebook.
Anyone experiencing the same problem should contact AppleCare.
