[QUOTE="labyrinthian, post: 1160112, member: 183616"] Thanks, everyone, I think you were right about the smoke being ingested, and not produced by the macbook, cwa and tatooedmac. I opened 'er up, and there were definitely smoke-like stains on the inside, particularly on the part right above the fan. so it makes sense that the fan could have pulled in the smoke when it was in the environment. incidentally, it was also totally dusty too, so that could be involved somehow too. the compressed air worked partially to get the smoke stains off the inside, but i was too nervous to use any detergent or anything wet near the machine. so its cleaned up enough, i think, and it gives me peace of mind to know that nothing was actually toasted in there! phew! thanks everyone for all the great advice. i'll also make it a part of my regular maintenance to open it up and clear out the major dust with compressed air. thanks for those recommendations!
