My friend bought a brand new 15" MBP on the weekend and yesterday during a lecture this happened:
Funny how the pinwheel is the only thing that has the right colour... anyway, the whole system was locked and she had to hold the power button down for at least two minutes before it turned off. She started it up again and everything was working fine... she hasn't been able to recreate the problem since.
She took it back to the place she bought it this morning but they couldn't replace it since they couldn't get it to do it again, which I expected.
All I really want to know is - what caused it and should she expect it to happen again?
She has a rubber keyboard protector over the keys. Could that have caused an overheating issue or something?
