[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1794785, member: 175845"] Using [B]Activity Monitor[/B] is certainly a good idea and suggestion, but it that Mac has had a [B]clean OS X installed[/B] and it's still heating up and killing the battery that should eliminate software as the cause of the problem and I would truly suspect some sort of short when the lid is closed as I mentioned in my #6 post above. If it does the same thing with just a [B]clean OS X installed[/B], I'd be contacting Apple again for help and a fix!! Heck, it may even have some stuck down keys but I can't see how that could cause the battery drain or excessive heat. - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
