12" PowerBook fan run a lot? - JEBB - 02-10-2006 I recently bought a new (Apple refurb) 12" 1.5 GHz PowerBook. Its fan runs a lot, much more than did the fan in my 900 G3 iBook before it. Is that normal? It has MacOS 10.3.9 with 768MB RAM. It did have a warped bottom case and wouldn't sit flat. I sent it to AppleCare and they replaced that part of the case only yesterday at the Memphis repair center. I don't recall the fan running so much before I sent it but I could be mistaken. Also, where does the cooling air exit? Is it through the keyboard or thru that grill on the lowerleft side?
