[QUOTE="romegio, post: 1597121, member: 28483"] I have been on the apple site looking this one over. It seems that a few people have had similar issues but there didn't seem to be any resolution to the problem. So here I am on this site to ask the question. First of all, I bought this computer used about 4 mo. ago, i am using mavericks. It shut off for the first time about a month ago I suppose after watching movies for several hrs.- it would not turn back on no matter what I tried. So,the next day after I get home from work, I jiggle to cord in the back and push the start button and...It starts up...At that point I figured that the cord was the culprit....so I switched the power cord and the computer has been working flawlessly for the last month until ..last night..it shutoff and what I thought was a power cord problem is not. I am guessing that it could be an overheating issue at this point- Maybe I should open it up and vacuum out the dust, but maybe someone here has a clue other than that, and I thank you in advance for any thoughts.
