one freaking hot laptop... literally

|

my powerbook has always run warm. when i took it in 2 months ago, one of the complaints was that it was running hotter than it should (as a genius bar guy confirmed). he also thought that the heat may have caused some of the glue on the display bezel to melt which caused the noise. it had been fine since it came back until yesterday. it felt really hot on the bottom. i put my hands on the bottom to feel across the whole unit. in doing that, i burned the palms of both of my hands. of course i called apple about it. they shipped out a box so that i can return the laptop for repair and an engineer will call me for the safety issues. at one point, it got to be 62c under the processor which is about 150f. HOT! it sucked. my hands still hurt. i'm glad that i was able to get ice on them shortly after the incident occured.
