[QUOTE="hoody, post: 1864199, member: 290804"] I got the macbook back yesterday, played about setting things how I like them and noticed I had no bookmarks or email addresses; I suppose there's a way to get them back; maybe with the time machine back up from Sierra? Anyway, I put it on charge last night and plugged in the brand new external HDD and did a CCC bootable back up. When it had finished I ejected the back up disc and left it on charge until I got a green light. I unplugged it and went to bed without turning it off. Got up this morning and it was hot but I couldn't get anything out of it. I'd tried holding the power button for 10 seconds, five seconds and just a quick press but nothing. It went back to the repair man who phoned me not long after I got home and it seems normal again now. He said it must have run all night (the battery was down to 25%) but the screen was off. He must have taken the back off and unplugged the battery I suppose. Now I'll hope to use the TM back up unless anyone thinks that's not a good idea. [/QUOTE]
