can replacing heatsink & sensor solve sudden heat shutdown?
Recently got a nice MBP 2.0 core duo that only needed a new HD, but suffers from shutdowns when processors pegged- noticed in Handbrake, confirmed by running yes in terminal- SMC fan controller a little help, but still shuts down. Lost cause? I'm going to try the redo thermal paste fix, thought I'd replace heat sink and sensor, have read that sensor wire can get baked- anyone know of any success trying this?
