MacBook Pro is back from repair

The MacBook Pro is back from 3 weeks repair to solve the shutdown problem.

The logic board and the LCD panel had been replaced with a new one. I’ve been trying to crash the notebook by putting stress on the cpu and try to heat it up.

Connect the notebook to the Apple Cinema Display
Encode a DVD with HandBrake
Open Terminal.app and type
```
yes > /dev/null &
```
press enter
Type
```
yes > /dev/null &
```
press enter
Open a lot of quicktime movie trailers and play it.
Turn the heater on
Activate screensaver

In the past, doing the above mentioned steps would shutdown the machine once it got to 80 degrees celcius. I used CoreDuoTemp to monitor the temperature of the notebook.

Anyone experiencing the same problem should contact AppleCare.
