Okay so I just bought a refurbished Apple iBook G4 from Newegg...
Just got it in today from UPS (6-2-11) and already see some major issue signs.
*Overheating (measured by high quality laser)
-The left hand side palm wrest area is reaching temperatures as high as 103.7F
-The keyboard area is reaching temperatures around 96F to 101F
-Front bottom (under palm wrest) is reaching temperatures between 105F and 110F
-Rear bottom (under keyboard) is reaching temperatures between 90F and 95F
*When browsing the Internet it will sometimes just completely stop loading anything for as
long as it feels like it
-1.33GHz CPU with 1.5GB DDR
-Newest version supported of Safari
*I know that when hard drives fail you get a lot of heat and sluggish performance...
-Should I remove the old 40GB (5-6yr) IDE drive and install a brand new 250GB
IDE drive?
