Hi all,
MY 2.0 GHZ MBP Core Duo, w 1.5 GB RAM, has just recently started to die without warning. Doesn't matter what software I'm using at the time, or whether I'm on battery or plugged (FYI, I have a replaced battery). Not sure what to make of it, other than my warranty running out a month ago.
Any help here would be great. The MAG light stays on after it dies, and shows it either charging or charged — depending on battery, so I'm kinda scratching my head and praying its not the logic board.
TIA

Sounds like the logic board. Sorry. A short in the board could cause this.
BTW, when you say starting to die, I'm assuming you mean you're working on the computer when the power just shuts off...
Take it to an Apple Store if you have one near you (don't know where the Canada stores are), sometimes they make exceptions if it's less than 30 days out of warranty. Otherwise, you can send it in for a flat rate warranty repair. Should be about US$324.
If you're lucky, sometimes, if you buy from a place not directly Apple (as in, not an Apple Store and not Apple.com) they don't have you're exact date of purchase and sometimes round up to 3 months after the shipment date.
Check your coverage at the bottom of Apple.com/support
