It seems to ME that the cooling fan in my new TiBook hasn’t gone on in a few weeks. It’s right now, as I type this, on my knees and oh my freaking god is the bottom of this thing scorching hot.
How do I find out if the fan is A) working, and B) working right?
I don’t wanna risk this thing, I’ll shut it down cold for a few days and get it to Apple Store before I risk damaging it. Any thoughts?
I’ve chosen to notify my local Apple Store ( lucky for me, I HAVE a local Apple Store…), so they know I’m heading in tomorrow afternoon. It’s well under warranty, they will replace what is not working… <sigh> I’d thought of buying a very small muffin fan, to run against the underside of the TiBook. It is almost always sitting on a Podium Pad anyway, and so the underside is exposed and would benefit from a small breeze running nonstop.
I’ll likely buy one, regardless of what happens with the internal cooling fan. I never believed ANY manufacturer who said, " Oh, it’s meant to run hot".
