[iBook] Bad power supply?

[John Lyon]

I've found my iBook G4's power supply gets very hot when charging -
particularly if it's laying on something that helps trap the heat (like a
comforter, or the carpet.) I've started placing it on something that will
help dissipate the heat better than textiles.
