[QUOTE="Algus, post: 1624642, member: 319021"] Immediate thoughts that come to mind are degraded thermal paste around the CPU, internal fans not working, and to much dust inside the casing. Repair shop should have spotted all of those just about immediately. The device is definitely overheating, probably the CPU, though some other part could be generating to much heat and warming everything up. Obviously, I cannot say for sure that's the problem but here's an [URL="http://vitobotta.com/thermal-paste-reapply/"]article talking about repasting a Macbook CPU[/URL]. It isn't hard but might be a little daunting if you've never done it. I'd be suspicious of the shop you have been going to if they can't figure out an overheating issue. If a repaste doesn't fix the problem (because something else is generating the heat) then it may at least help combat it. The shop ~should have~ blown all the dust out of your laptop if they bothered to crack it open but make sure you have a can of compressed air and blow any dust you find out yourself as well.
