Once upon a time, in the G3 PowerBook epoch, Apple laptops seemed indestructible and lasted for ever and a day. My G3 did me very well indeed from April 2000 until late 2009.
Sadly, I've started to suspect that the modern MacBook Pro didn't inherit the longevity gene. The motherboard 17" laptop I bought in 2008 died without warning shortly after the extended AppleCare expired, and the impression I have is that Ronni for example has had more than one laptop suffer from logic board faults. So Bill, to continue the analogy in human terms, it may be that your computer has reached that stage in life in which it suffers hot flushes. Regards, Michael.
