Non-random Macbook Shutdown

The excitement starts at around 50 seconds if you would like to fastforward to that point.

The Macbook was like this a few weeks after I got it. It got fixed by licensed Apple repair shop and was fine for 3 months after that (they said they had to replace the overheating sensor ... saying the computer thought it was overheating just like in most of the _random_ shutdown cases). As you will see, mine is not very random. The funny thing was.. they called me after 5 days saying they couldn't reproduce the shutdown (probably because they thought they just had to leave it on and "overheat"). I have never had the random shutdown problem. JUST THIS

Now after 3 months, the "bug" has resurfaced its ugly head. I don't see anyone else having this problem and would like to know if anyone else has seen it.

Something is loose inside, it's only obvious. 99% of those "in store" repair techs don't know diddly squat about computers. Take it to someone you know who fixes computers at home, they are the good ones.

Well That was a bit of a hard drop. The hard drive's disk. If it gets kind of loss or shake that is what happends. Only to hard drives that doesn't say like air bag etc.....

There might be somthing on a cable like a popcorn kernal inside that when it is dropped it pushes down on the cable and it turns off the computer. that's what was wrong with mine.
