[QUOTE="Toanjii, post: 75536"] Hello everyone, I am writing to ask if anyone has had this problem with their Powerbook. The problem I'm having is that when I place pressure on the right palm rest above the Superdrive, eg. when typing, the Powerbook displays a message asking me if I wanted to Restart, Sleep, Cancel or Shutdown the computer! At times when I'm in chat, when I'm typing messages, I would press Enter quite frequent thus I inadvertantly Shutdown my computer!! :( This problem occurs more often and easier when the laptop heats up. When cool, strong pressure has to be applied and has to be in the right speaker grill. However, when the laptop has been on for like 4-6hours and gets hot, just the normal weight of my hand is required to trigger it, even from the area above the Superdrive. May I know if anyone else has this problem? And if I can do anything about it without bringing back to Apple because I really need my laptop at the moment. Thanks heaps in advance. Toan. ;) [/QUOTE]
