I'm intrigued as my system also wakes if I closed the lid and flip it in my hands. What did you really need to say or do besides show the geniuses the problem? Why exactly was the logic board replaced, as in what component on it was causing the problems?
Thanks,

What temperature do you need to have for a magazine to spontaneously catch fire?
That would have to be one serious overheat.
Which is pretty much as I figured.I use a mac, (OBVIOUSLY) and my animation course still uses PC they will not budge on getting any macs as the techie only knows PCs.
ITs not a computer animation course its traditional... ie cel, frame stop motion and all that. Each frame is a separate file around 10-20mb for a small image but usually bigger when using multi layered imaging as i do!
I use final cut pro, this doesnt exist on PC as you will know! To transfer to pc would require starting everything i have done since january again on the pcs using premiere which i have no time to do.
There are other departments with macs but at tis time of year they are also under heavy usage by graduating students so no go as their department gets priority.
Have YOU not read posts (#13, 19, 23, 26, 40, 53, 56, 63, 80, 90, 120, 131, 132, 151, 156, ...) which report having had negative (albeit less dramatic) experiences with possibly heat related issues with the MBP, or who are concerned about the possible impact of these issues on their MBPs ?Are YOU not reading that he was talking about a MacBook, not a MacBook Pro or earlier PowerBook?
lol..while I agree that the burn victim lives in a sty, I doubt that's the reason for the malfunctioning unit. A filthy couch and a messy linoleum floor aren't really the conditions for flaming laptops.
No, I am just saying that one case of fire cannot be misinterpreted as a widespread problem.
isn't it cool when you don't read the whole story?
Except if it happens with a PC, right? But now that it happened with a Mac, you suddenly find all kinds of excuses.
i want to get a macbook ( out of my salary bonus! ) , but things like this put me off. I assume its just a one off occasion?? anyone else got any terror stories for the macbook??
The recent photos below are from a co-worker's MacBook Pro. His was asleep on a desk - he said he heard a loud "pop" and the found this:
He took it into the Apple Store and they replaced it right away.
That's the battery itself; not the notebook.How can anyone on this forum be fooled and believe these are pictures of a MacBook Pro. Come on guys, check out the Apple Website. This notebook is far from looking like an Apple.
I had been using the MacBook while being a passanger in a car, once I had completed my work I decided to shut the computer down. I didn't realise at the time but I closed the lid part way through the shut down process and placed the laptop back in its bag. On arrival to my meeting I pulled the laptop out of the bag which was at finger burning temp, it seemed to be locked in a state of running everything at full speed. It took a further 10 minutes to cool down enough to restart.
