MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.1

Written by Colin Devroe on Friday, October 27th, 2006 at 10:29 am. Colin is the founder of ChanceCube and the Community Evangelist for Viddler.

Apple has released an update to the MacBook’s firmware that is supposed to “improves the MacBook’s internal monitoring system and addresses issues with unexpected shutdowns”.

Perhaps this is the fix we’ve all been waiting for? If you have tried this, please comment on this post and let us know your success/failure.

    I had the SMC Update on my MacBook. The same MacBook which I just got back from Service. The heatsink had been replaced. Still keeps shutting down randomly. I am not amused.

    RNX: I am on my third-Macbook and have not yet had the problems with this one, though it plagued the previous two. I have not yet installed the update though.
