  • After the SMC update the machine has been normal so far, with no further shutdowns.

  • Yes, I do have Skype on my machine, but I don't think it is responsible for the shutdown problem, as I was already having it before the video beta came out. Still searching for answers though.

  • The service centers down in Brazil are not the ones to blame, actually. The problem is that Apple BR does not have parts in stock, so every time a new part is needed it has to be imported from the US, and that takes time. As I normally travel to the US, it is easier (and a lot faster) to just take the machine to an Apple Store and have it fixed there... :-)

  • Thanks! I'll post something here as soon as the machine is fixed.

  • Same happened to mine (white, 2ghz, 1gig ram, 100HDD).

    Took it to the store, genius bar.

    The genius saw it himself, sent it in for diagnosis and most likely repair.

    I think it is bad logic board (look at your utilities, and look at your system log). Most likely kernel attack related.

    Take it to a store.

  • Thanks! I'm probably going to the US in about ten days, and I'll certainly take it to an AppleStore to get it fixed. Down here in Brazil it would take at least a couple of months to replace the Logic Board, according to a service center. :(

see all

  • Shoulda built a PC.

  • shutdown- c IP 637.231.421 heh

  • Boa Noite!

  • possibly no need to take it in. same problem. select 'software update' from the apple menu, and download SMC software update. so far so good.

  • The problem is with the temperature sensors. Take it back, they put new heatsink/sensors or give you a new one.

  • We all are... mine is having this pesky issue too and I hate Apple for not letting us know wtf is going on.

  • Having the same problem.

    Just wondering ... are you using Skype? My problems might have started after installing Skype Vivdeo beta, allthough I'm not sure.
