: Pismo cpu fan dead Hey... I'm wondering if scotto had success in solving the dead fan/overheating problem? I am also wondering if perhaps resetting the power manager on his Pismo might solve it. I have no reason to think it might, but I know that resetting PRAM and resetting the power manager

I would suggest that something else is causing this. My pismo fan has NEVER turned on that I know of. Neither has the Lombard before it, or the Wallstreet before that. The fans only turn on under extreme conditions. Some other problem is causing your 'book to overheat. Do you have a G4 upgrade

My machine started getting hot and staying hot when the battery was going out. I have 1gb RAM and a 30gb Travelstar drive. Does it get hot if you run it with the battery out? Gary -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com |

I have two spare fans that I bought off ebay when I was diagnosing my processor troubles (turned out the other chip (not the G3) on the daughtercard had a problem and Apple replaced it with a better version). I believe one fan was from a Lombard and the other was from a Pismo but they look

How have you come to the conclusion it doesn't work? It is a thermostatically controlled fan, so it only comes on when needed, not like in a desktop, where it is on all the time. Wiebe On 15/10/03 11:48 AM, scotto [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: the fan in my pismo g3 500 has stopped working. is
