[QUOTE="Head_Unit, post: 1195544, member: 135495"] Opened it and cleaned it, some dirt but not really dirty. Powered it up while open, not sure the fan between the air intake and the CPU was running. The other two fans are running. Reset the SMU via internal button while I was at it. Now trying to boot from Apple Hardware disc but the machine won't boot completely now (sigh, another thread perhaps) I do have brand "C" memory for several years now without this problem. It is maxed to 2GB in this machine. Does memory "go bad"? Now I get "Invalid memory access" when I try to boot the the A. Hardware disc. - And, the fan CRANKS the flow, so I guess both fans (?) must be working. ??? I really like the machine, I don't want to trash it. Besides the money, I do NOT like the glass screens on the new ones since I really notice reflections and they really bug me. [/QUOTE]
