Q: Macbook Keyboard - Shut down issue
Hi,
I am writing from India. I have a Macbook Mid-2010 model (Unibody).
I am facing an auto shut down issue with it.
The Macbook runs well when i press any key.
Once the key is released, it automatically shuts down at any point, either in boot up or in running state.
I have even formatted the Hard drive and Loaded with OSX Snow Leopard (10.6), which came along with the Macbook.
There is no issue with the Logic board or Hard drive or RAM as the system runs perfect when any key in the keyboard is pressed.
Regards,
Ananth
MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Does this problem occur if you perform a Safe Boot? (restart the Mac - press and hold the left shift key after the boot chime - keep holding the left shift key until there is indication of boot progress on the screen).
Have you attempted to do an SMC reset?
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support
Have you attempted to reset PRAM/NVRAM (restart the Mac - press and hold COMMAND+OPTION+P+R after the boot chime) keep holding all 4 keys through 2 additional chimes - release the keys.
Have you checked the status of the battery? What is the cycle count of the battery?
