Feel wanna sell off my Mac Mini & Powerbook and buy a MacBook.

Not sure whether the MacBook users in Malaysia experience the same as reported by Apple users abroad a so-called MacBook Random Shutdown Syndrome (RSS)- http://www.macbookrandomshutdown.com/users...om-shutdown.php & http://maba.wordpress.com/2006/09/01/macbo...last-hopefully/

If so I rather upgrade my current iMac 20" to iMac 23 inch as rumored http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/01/23-inch...begin-swirling/ & http://appleinsider.com/article.php?id=2011. Any comment from local MacBook users. Thanks

My girl's MB faced the problem 2 or 3 times. But now no anymore. I wonder should we send it to Applecentre?

No such things happening on my macbook

Juz sent it to VR Tech... the part will come after 5 working days... they'll replace the logic board and the heatsink... they'll call me once it arrives... pretty good ppl thr...

However, if u use a notebook cooler, it'll occur less... mine kena more often when it's not hooked on the notebook cooler...

Ha even though use it with notebook cooler also will shutdown la..

About the VR Tech, mean that I just go and report it to them and after the part arrived they'll call me? That is really realy good! I think I'm going to go there by this weekdays. Thanks bro.

BTW, where is VR Tech?

ya lor... even with cooler oso konk wan... but less... heheh...

i took the machine to them yesterday cause i hv a creaking hinge... then ask them to check on the shutdown thing... i had to leave overnight wit them cause they r short of hands this week... otherwise, i cud hv waited and they will check immediately wan...

Give them a call first b4 u go... 21632020... VR Tech is at Megan Phileo 2... u know the Public Bank opposite KLCC?... u basically turn into the junction... Public bank will be on ur left... go straight on... the place is next to Ambank building... u wudnt miss it... it's in front of a big water fountain type thingie...

Never been to that place, but I think it's not hard to find it, thanks man

Hi everyone, I got the same problem after two month usage. So, I am going to send to VR Tech soon. Just drop by to confirm, do i no need to stay overnite there? Coz i need my system for working purposes. And, do they warranty my system if I upgraded 3 party ram to 2GB ady? Or should I replace back the original RAM? Thx for helping

rams shouldnt be a problem i think

Just bring it there, to report and show it to them then you can bring it back home. Bring it back to them after the replacement arrive and then you need to left it with them for at least a day for testing purpose. Gudluck.

I've got no RSS problem.
But my Google Earth and default Chess game shutdown quite often. Anyone has similiar encounter?

VR Tech is in Jalan Yap Kwan Seng (not *** Nia Seng hehehe)

Hi there, any confirmation on what is the cause of the RSS other than heat issue?

If this is the case, I'm just worried I'm not experiencing it because I'm at Genting, dont really get any heat issues. Afraid the problem would surface later or worse still after warranty period (11 mths to go).

It would be nice to have an official released cause to identify which is affected and not (like production week)...

Other than heat issue, I think it's the logic board problem. Because I need to reset my MB everytime I want to turn it on or else it won't turn on. go and read the article in the URL posted by 76radius, Apple already identified it.

The problem is I'm always at cool places, if that is why I'm not experiencing he problem, it doesnt mean I dont have the problem. Just want to be sure I dont have the problem. Makes me feel uneasy not knowing.
