[QUOTE="trizzytrish, post: 763823, member: 75993"] [COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Lucida Console"]My brand new MacBook Pro is randomly turning off and on when it's unplugged and closed! My new MacBook is performing flawlessly when I'm hard at work - I am using it for high-end graphics and 3D mathematical modeling. What is killing me is that it is randomly turning off and on when it is unplugged and closed. It doesn't matter if I shutdown before closing or just let it go to sleep when it's closed.

I *do* think that it's the button... Has anyone else experienced this? Any known fixes? A way to lock the power button when the notebook is closed? I want to find out if there is something I can do before heading to an apple store. Thanks a ton!!
