Save Temperature Monitor Graphs as images and send to Apple
All, seems there is no need to change the logic board to fix. Just tell the Apple shop what you want rather than ask.... for those who are sick of waiting for the company to fix and fess this sure beats $1,200 for both items.
Sick PB owner Intalik sent us his Temperature Monitor’s history graph showing spikes that triggered NAP attacks. Intalik showed his Apple center and he asked them to ONLY replace the top cover. Seems it worked fine and cost C$550 for labor and parts.
I'm not giving up yet .......so even if you spend the money, consider remaining in the mail group in case Apple decide to reimburse down the track.
My track pad graphs look way different to Intalik's. (I changed my default colors to match Intalik’s for easy comparison) The drop to 25º C is NOT a fix. It just happened after a normal restart ???? No idea why.
Interested to see other graphs.... so please post with the same colors.
Not sure if this will show us a pattern but clearly my sensor fault is totally different to Intaliks... I have steady readings where he has spikes. Even though my trackpad is way over the max temp for safe operation the computer does NOT go into forced sleep???? Weird.
For those unsure how to access the graph, just open Temperature Monitor and select Window>Show History Windows (make sure to upgrade to the latest version so you can expand the window)
