won't shut down. Click shut down it restarts. Hard shut down, it restarts. Put to sleep it wakes up. The fucking things wired. Apple care have fucked my computer. 3 screen replacements. 1 logic board and a new airport card because the genius 'snagged' the last one whilst replacing the third screen , he having broken the previous two!
I'm pissed off. I bought it in November - late 08 model.
How do I switch this fucking thing off?!!

Hold down the power button for 10 seconds. Switch back on. Failing that, take out the battery, put it back in

And if none of this works, could this possibly be the first macbook that is self powered?

OK, you unplug AC, you take out the battery, put it back, plug in power and switch on. What happens?
