    Hey you all
    I was having a few problems a week back when my MacBook started Random Shutdown Syndrome. I tried everything i could even deleting my XP partition and backing up everything on my Mac OSX drive in fear. That is because my harddrive has failed once during the 2nd month after i bought it. So I was pulling my hair out trying to stop it but no effect. Then i checked the web and there is even a website named macbook random shutdown. So i was so sad to see this because i really love my little MacBook. so i was going to jump off this bulidng b4 someone said to update SMC Firmware. so i tried it and lo and behold it stopped and has been for 1 week. Hurrah
    BUt the thing is after the update, whenever i connected the magsafe connector to the macbook it immediately powers itself on.this is isnt a big problem but just wanted to ask why this happens?
    Any ideas
