Hey,

I've been having some serious issues with my 9 month old macbook. The most recent occurred today after I picked it up from the service centre and had a new battery and ethernet card installed.

The issue is that twice when surfing the net I got a box that popped up that said in English, French, German and Japanese:

You must shut your computer down. Hold down the power button until it shuts down...

That's not an exact quote, but close enough. What I was doing when the message popped up was surfing the net, one time I was looking loading Doonesbury on Slate, and I don't remember what I was looking at the other time, but something equally as benign. I think both sites may have been starting/using java when the error occurred, but that's a complete guess.

Any thoughts, suggestions or advice???

I can't resist and I apologize in advance. . .

You are obviously mistaken because nobody could ever conceivably have a problem with an Apple product.

Try posting the same thing on a Mac forum... I have recieved some very helpful advice from there.

This is a new one on me.
I have a discolored palmrest, and had the random shutoffs.

Things go wrong with Apple products, just less frequently and slightly more gracefully.

Here here's my 2 cents. A friend took her ibook in to get it serviced. A month later still problems. She called and asked me to take a look. There were at least 6 screws missing from the back and the case was crooked!
