Mine is a self-inflicted wound caused by cleaning the trackpad, keyboard and case with an over-moist cloth. The machine was on at the time and, not knowing any better, I left it running.

Would it help to disassemble the machine to let the air get to it? The machine is a 15-inch MPB coming up for three years old. Comments appreciated … M [/QUOTE]
