The fan starts very rarely on any PowerBook G3 Series. Unless you use it on some surface that would prevent air from circulating underneath, you won't hear the fan. However, if you really want to hear it, you can shutdown your PDQ and reset the power manager. I think you should hear the fan a little bit when you'll press the power button. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/RV: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:laurent.daudelin@;verizon.net fish n.: [Adelaide University, Australia] 1.
