[QUOTE="Maju, post: 54305"] I bought my powerbook 15" last Febuary. It worked fine until I upgraded to 10.3, then it started getting very hot. So I started spending a lot of time searching forums on how to fix this. Btw, running verify and repair permissions seemed to help for a while, not it´s hot again....And I don´t have the faulty batteries, either... Any suggestions on how to FINALLY solve this??? (tried Macjanitor, doesn´t work) All this about getting coolpads, using magazines or other gadgets pp have suggested is complete stupidity! It´s a LAPTOP, right. Never experiensed this with any pc laptop, all though that´s the only possitive thing about those awful machines. Now, the next thing was the squeaky hinges. Again, loads of time trying to solve that! Don´t want them to brake, right!!! I bought some oil, like sewing machine oil, no squeaking anymore. Yesterday i discovered a new squeaky sound, now it´s the spacebar! Man, what next!!!! So, anybody else have this problem and a solution? I don´t dare to take the spacebar out and put oil on there. Any ideas? What pity for such a otherwise great computer! Cheers, Maju [/QUOTE]
