Tiger frying *books?
Those overheating issues my ibook recently had mysteriously went away somehow. Ok, not exactly mysteriously, but rather inexplicably.
The repair-shop returned it after a week without repairing it because they couldn’t reproduce the problem. The day they returned it, my ibook overheated again after six-or-so hours of use, but ever since it worked without a hitch (knock-on-wood). When i brought it into repairs they zapped the pram and nvram before taking it in and apparently Justin Blanton had the same problem with his powerbook after installing tiger and zapping the pram and nvram resolved his issues as well. I’m still not convinced that the fans are working properly. There is a fan located under the left palm rest next to that little grill on the left side of g4 ibooks, right? That one doesn’t come on anymore ever since i had my mainboard replaced. However i really don’t have the nerves to have a possible problem fixed that’s not reliably reproducible and isn’t giving me any trouble right now, so i’ll just sit and wait until my laptop bursts into flames before dealing with apple care again. Or even better, perhaps this won’t give me any more trouble, the large fan at the back appears to keep islington cool enough for now. Let’s see how it fares once we hit 30°…
