My suspicions are that this is a hardware-based problem, and as a result I expect that a fix would have to be either in the form of a firmware update, or by Apple offering to service and fix any affected systems. In response to complaints and the attention that this issue is getting, Apple recently released a knowledgebase article that acknowledges the issue and basically mentions that the Apple engineers are looking into a fix. Regardless, users affected by this problem hoped that the latest OS X 10.7.2 update would address the issue and at least reduce its prevalence if not fix it altogether however, this was not the case and the problem is persisting for the affected systems. It appears the problem happens regardless of the OS being used, and even happens in Windows running Boot Camp, suggesting the OS and software is not the root of the issue. This issue was first widely noted when OS X 10.7 was released, but it soon became clear that the problem was present (albeit less prevalently) in Snow Leopard and was only exacerbated when people upgraded their systems to Lion. The problem may show a kernel panic, but generally just displays the black screen and requires users to press the power button to restart the systems. Thanks to all my tippers !
