OT: Macbook Random Shutdown

[Pierre Sahores]

Aloha Andre,

Something a little different occured to my macBook Pro 2Ghz 2Go RAM  
yesterday (first time since i got it two month ago : after going out  
of sleep, the screen stay black but all other functionnalities are  
active (keyboard, DVD drive, etc...). I had to reboot to get the  
laptop running OK again. Perhaps just a firmware update to fix,  
perhaps more...

Best Regards,
