More black macbook fears. Need assurance.

[spearmint]

Is this one with a real heat problem?

Where do I check the date for Applecare eligibility and can I go in with a cutoff number?

Where is number?

Getting real scared.

Says he is not working tomorrow. Should I take chance and delay?

MacBook may run warm because rear vent is blocked

* Last Modified on: June 02, 2006

* Article: 303848

Some MacBook computers may appear to be running too warm, with the fan running consistently and heat emanating from the top and/or the bottom of the computer.

If this happens with your MacBook, check the rear vent of the MacBook to make sure it's not blocked.

Some MacBooks may have left the factory with a thin piece of clear plastic covering the rear vent. This is used in the factory to prevent dust from getting into your computer. If your MacBook has the plastic still over the vent, simply remove and discard it.

If your MacBook does not have the thin piece of clear plastic over the vent but is running warm, see article 30612, "Apple Notebooks: Operating Temperature."

I think you need to buy a brand new MacBook from Apple 'Mint. You obviously need a level of service higher than what any used computer will get you.

Especially a used laptop.

Here is the link to the page where you can input the serial number and see what Apple shows as the remaining warranty.

http://www.apple.com/support/

Here is what the box looks like toward the bottom right hand side of the page. Click on "Check my Warranty and Repair options" and it will bring up a page where you can input the serial number for the machine. It should tell you what it shows for remaining warranty, so you can figure out if it is eligible for Apple Care.

I know you have a budget, but maybe you should get one of the $899 refurbs from Apple. Can you swing the extra?
