4SNS/1/40000000: TNOP-76.375

I tried Apple Hardware Test to see what kind of test program it is. I was told by the service point that it is the only program to determine hardware faults undoubtedly. No other ways are supported by Apple

First thing I noticed was that the fans run ~3000 rpm at minimum during the testing. So it is impossible to notice any fan speed related issues with Apple Hardware Test.

Second thing that I noticed was the error code "4SNS/1/40000000: TNOP-76.375"
I have no idea what it means and by Googling it or parts of it does not give any more info.

I tried running the hardware test again and it passed successfully. Well who would have guessed that the program itself is a bit sloppy. And we're talking about the program which Apple uses to determine if computer is fully functional.

I'll call tomorrow the service point if they have more info what this error code could mean.

Know your consumer rights

I've now contacted the consumer dispute board which took my case into their consideration.
Actually the board received my letter January 27th and I hope to get some answers soon.

I hope that they understand that this computer is truly a faulty and advise Apple to either give me my money back or to swap it to a new one. I'd prefer the money back as I've found that nearly every one of MacBook Pro's are affected of this lazy fan issue.

If you search hard enough you might find few other threads describing this same overheating which Apple have missed and threads did not get deleted. (yes, I believe that they delete threads mocking Apple)
