[P1] It's the fan, again....

[Joe Jones]

I don't know about Lemon.

I have a 600Mhz iBook, and it's never been as hot as it's been recently.

The case underneath became too hot to touch - I'm putting it down to 
being in Iowa in June (visiting girlfriend) so it's in a warmer 
environment and can't cool off as effectively, and the power flavour 
here is different - 120 instead of 230v, so the adapter is drawing more 
current (but I can't see it heating the iBook as a result of this.

I think the locale you have the iBook in is important - is it warm 
where you are?
