I have a 4 year old iMac (not intel) & Tiger 10.x - recently the HDD started to overheat resulting in my Mac shutting down & iStat pro showed evidence of this in the HDD temp - cause was the HD fan never changed from 2000 rpm (defualt value?) & probably wasnt working at all. Replaced the fan, but no change - can only think that the board isnt supplying power to the fan anymore ..... sound plausible ?
Everything is backed up on my Lacie external drive.
My Mac is obviously out of warranty - cant decide if there is anything that I can do or if its time to invest in an Intel Mac - perhaps waiting for Snow Leopard to come out in Sept ?
Thoughts welcome ?
