[QUOTE="jools1976, post: 1756813, member: 392107"] No offence but I'm done with the Apple store. They had no solid reasoning for their troubleshooting, and their information was flawed (i.e calling the IO board the "SMC Board" and insisting the controller was part of it). There was also no flat rate fee, he gave me three part prices, plus a labor fee for each, and basically said they would start with the least expensive and work their way up. He made it very clear though that even if it didn't resolve the issue, I would still have to pay the fee. This to me is ridiculous, I can do that myself. Also, changing the battery is no big deal, it's 8 screws and a connector, but again, I don't to just throw parts at it with no rhyme or reason behind it. I don't think it's the charger, as it does basically the same thing with or without it connected. That leaves the logic board but I've read posts online of people with the same issue that have replaced the MLB, and not resolved the problem. That's a $600 pot-shot. What about temperature sensors? Does anybody know where they are located? I read something about that being an issue also.... [/QUOTE]
