Hi All,
So I've been having a random problem with my MacBook as of late. I thought it might just be a couple of flukes and that it was nothing serious, but now I'm not so sure.
Sometimes my MacBook will just not shut down. It appears to shut down, but in fact, it does not shut down. I don't notice that it isn't shutdown because I can't hear the fans and the screen is completely black. I notice that this because after a shut down I place my MacBook in a booq sleeve (booq vyper XS2) and then in my incase bag and start my commute home (about 1 hr with traffic unfortunately).
After I get home, I find that my incase bag is warm, I take out my MacBook in the sleeve and it's blazing hot, with fans on at full blast trying to keep the MacBook from catching fire. It actually caused some discoloration the last time from the Booq sleeve. This has happened at least 12 times in the past 3 weeks. I thought that I had solved the problem four days ago after I reset both the PRAM and the SMC, and I figured it was safe to put it back in the booq sleeve, but this is when it happened again.
So my question, is there anything else that I could try before taking my MacBook to an apple store? If not, what do you think the apple store will do with my MacBook. I cannot be without it because it is essential for my work. Thanks in advance for you guys' help.
Cheers,
Mike
