Hi There,

So I recently took in my rMBP to the Genius Bar because of it hanging, kernel panicking and a weird issue with the power, where if I started or resumed it between 20-30% power it would shut down and refuse to turn on until I charged it, but as soon as it went back on it still thought it had 20% power.

They replaced the Logic Board under warranty, which seemed reasonable. However, the issues have just continued happening. I've had these issues since 10.9, and reinstalled OS X from scratch and they persisted so I believe it to be hardware and not software.

Has anyone else had these issues (I know about the recent graphics recall, but as my LB was just replaced I doubt it is that) particularly related to the power one? My battery is on 581 cycles so still counts as healthy.

Also, I am planning to take it into the Apple Store, but they are a bit busy at the moment. Does anyone know what they may try to do for a repair after they tried replacing the Logic Board?

Thanks :)
