This is the defective heatpipe of my MacBook 1.83GHz, responsible for my (more or less) random shutdowns as described in another picture.
Here is the upper side.
It has been replaced today. I will see how long it makes my MacBook work now...

My MacBook in Trouble

My 3 months old Apple MacBook 1.83GHz (built in week 26/2006) after most of its restarts...
Its power fails after coming back from standby or off state within 0 seconds to 5 minutes.
It has nothing to do with overheating - at least in my case!

Usually it is enough after such a "power failure" to hold down the power switch until it makes a beep sound. The the power manager has been reset...

Sometimes, when I got the upper screen output after a restart, I also have to erase the PRAM by pressing and holding the Apple-, Alt-, P- and R-Key after a restart.

(BTW: Spare Part is ordered...)
Thank you Steve for such a reliable tool!!!

UPDATE Friday 13th, Oct 2006
The heatpipe has been replaced... it seems to work fine again for now...

UPDATE Tuesday 24th, Oct 2006
Today my topcase, or just call it keyboard, has been exchanged... Discoloration of the white color should now be history too :-)

UPDATE Wednesday 3rd, Jan 2007
MacBook still runs fine...

UPDATE Thursday 31st, Jan 2008
MacBook still runs fine, with 250GB HD and 2GB RAM now
