send it to me and I'll fix it for free bob :D

Did you take it to the "experts" haha....
I took it to apple store, free est.
I figured it was main board, & I'd end up walking out with a new Ipad. Disc utility said failed HD, $250 to replace.
They replaced it & it's still power off after only a few min.
though it did stay on for the entire 2.5hr back up install.
Gonna take it back tomorrow, maybe shoulda jus got the new Ipad the first time...........

Your plants look beautiful, healthy, & happy Gigs
killer shit bro......

Have them check the power supply as well. Could be a heating issue.

Haha ya that's what I mean the "experts" I used to work for those fucks and I can't stand them. They are as bright as a burned out bulb...

Thanks bro. I'm happy with how they are coming along and I'm even happier to see flower again!

I thought it was either main board or power supply cause it just goes black...... no power.
PS & MB chked OK & it said failed HD. There is a fan port hidden behind stand that cools the HD ( I looked all over for a fan port to clean), it had a good 1/4 dust puck on it, so it made sense it would be the HD fried. Now the extra cash I had
( for Ipad) went to a repair that didn't fix it.
shit happens

it seem every time I try ANYTHING, it shuts down before I can complete it.
Im gonna take it back in the morning.
time for a big fatty..................
Have the same problem on/off with a Macbook Pro, started shutting down on me after an OS upgrade a while back. Brought it in, they "fixed" it, yesterday it shut down on me again... 8 times #@$! They thought it was heating up and replaced the fan but imo it's a combo of OS and hardware that seems to do it, video chipset imo related as all my failures are "GPU Panic" (Graphics Processor Unit). I just have to find the time to go back again and will be pressing them to replace it altogether.

That would suck :( I've seen several random posts about this issue on different forums, you'd think they would have figured it out by now :( Mine's only 1 1/2 yrs old and the top of the line model, they'll have to replace it if they can't figure it out. Still annoying as f**k though :(
