Re: Powerbook overheating badly
i has a similar issue just recently with my Lombard. In this instance overheating was caused by the HD continuously seeking even in sleep mode (one could hear it). The machine however behaved normally if logging in under a different, newly created user. You might want to try this step as well before turnung the machine in. I was also advised by list members to send my HD under warranty for replacement, which I was about to do, but Hitachi insisted I'd do some troubleshooting first. cheers, gianfranco Just wondering if anybody has had this problem with their PB. I have a 6 month old 15 AL PB. Recently, I came home and found that the PB was extremely hot to the touch. It had been in sleep mode. When I lifted it up, it had actually left two burn/char marks in the table as well as a white mark where the finish of the table was damaged. -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Powerbook overheating badly
Hi, Just wondering if anybody has had this problem with their PB. I have a 6 month old 15 AL PB. Recently, I came home and found that the PB was extremely hot to the touch. It had been in sleep mode. When I lifted it up, it had actually left two burn/char marks in the table as well as a white mark where the finish of the table was damaged.

Re: Powerbook overheating badly
I don't think it should be getting that hot! Maybe the fans are not working. Mine definitely gets warm and I have seen temps at 58 or 59c but not higher than that. In sleep mode it should stay cold as nothing will be running.

Re: Powerbook overheating badly
From: AKR [EMAIL PROTECTED] Just wondering if anybody has had this problem with their PB. I also have a 15 1GHz AlBook which gets hot, but not THAT hot! If I just run it the surface below the screen gets hot, very hot to the touch, but I have the Mac placed on a couple rubber pieces picked from an old Mac II case, and I have a PC fan gently circulating the air, which makes a huge difference. The PC fan is a 3 (?) internal fan connected to a 6 or 7.5V transformer so that it runs slower and is therefore soundless. Larry _ Tired of spam?

Re: Powerbook overheating badly
I suspect that my laptop computer never overheats. The fan has never come on. I wrote a short piece for the Double Click newsletter (either the April or May issuedownload from Files menu on the www.mause.ca website) about active and passive coolers for laptop computers. I am using the one for sale from www.xoxide.com for about $15.00 that has two small USB-powered fans and gives me a temperature drop that is clearly visible on the graph when I run ThermographX.

Agreed. Very not normal. Send it with pictures of burn marks - suspect no argument will be heard!
