[QUOTE="DazeDray, post: 1670840, member: 351656"] OK, so I took the Macbook to another technician who found the same issues as the Apple guys. After attempting a few SMC resets he got the machine going again. (thank goodness I didn't replace the motherboard!). He kept it for two weeks to see what it was doing and said he couldn't find any true fault. He said he didn't think it was the motherboard (as the Apple guys also said to me). His suggestion was that I had a USB connected for an extended period of time which may be causing the SMC confusion. His advice was to reinstall the OS and hope for the best. Has anyone experienced this? What's the best way to reinstall the OS? [/QUOTE]
