[Ti] Overheating...Solved

[David Grieve]

As a point  of interest I discovered almost all of the internal screws 
loose on my 500mhz tibook after about 2.5 years of use, both under the 
keyboard and after removing the bottom.  I was trouble shooting an 
intermittent shutdown.  This PB had not been anywhere for 
servicing--other than me replacing the HD, DVD optical disk and 
Memory--none involving those loose screws.  I do travel a lot and the 
machine has gone between home and work every day.  (My trouble shooting 
did not work and applecare replaced the battery wiring harness.)
