Ouch! I just grabbed my (sleeping?!?!) 1400 to check the benchmarking results of a Viper 340mb PC card drive . . .
Wow, the whole base is burning hot! It's been sleeping (?) for at least a week hooked to a PS. The battery isn't very hot, but the heatsink is waaay too hot to touch, it's scorching hot!! I didn't notice if the sleep light was on prior to opening the lid, but I'm thinking it wasn't. I'm sure it didn't help whatever happened that it was inside a stack of other 'Books.
I'm thinking I had a similar problem before, but can't recall now if it was with this processor or with a 183.
Anyone have any insights?
I've had that happen from time to time. This was on my WallStreet (OS X.2.6). I have no clue what causes it but for some reason the laptop just fails to sleep on when I close the lid. I had it happen one time when I put it into the laptop bag and that got it real hot. The only thing I can suggest is what I'm doing which is to check for the flashing green light after closing the lid.
