Im really getting frustrated with my 1st gen macbook's bluetooth chip, it has broken twice and i had to order another chip for it (its out of warranty) making this it's 3rd chip so far. What happens is it starts to get flaky turning off and on and eventually it stops altogether and does really weird things like not letting me sleep the macbook. I am this close to just removing the chip permanently but i need it for my mighty mouse. Does anyone have any idea why my MacBook has cannibalized every chip so far??? Its not an OS thing cause its done it both under Tiger and Leopard so that is rulled out. Any ideas????

Im allmost 100% sure its not heat related, the macbook is running relatively cool and the "not letting me sleep" issue only happens when the Bluetooh goes haywire. I will run the hardwaire test and post results tho
