I have a Mid-2012 MacBook Air that is doing the kernel_text 600%+ thing. I ran the diagnostics and received this code: 4SNS/1/C0000008: Th1H—124
Everything I’ve read tells me that code represents the heat sink. Other articles I’ve read tell me that it is a heat sensor. This thread in particular dissects the code: [post|151236]
And this article talks about ways to get around the sensor: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4817768
I am wondering something. If I go through the trouble of buying and replacing the heat sink, will that solve the problem? It doesn’t seem to me that it will, since the heat since does not appear to have a sensor component on it. It looks like just a heat sink: [product|IF188-065]
If so, then where is the sensor indicated in the code 4SNS/1/C0000008: Th1H—124? I can replace the heat sink, but if I can’t also replace the faulty sensor, I won’t have achieved anything.
Thoughts and insights are appreciated.
