Message: <blockquote data-quote="Stevejac" data-source="post: 23944">My iBook was fine when put to sleep earlier today. When I went to use it again this afternoon, the sleep light wasn't on. The machine was very warm, especially over the area to the right of the touch pad (where the battery is) and to the left (where I understand is the location of the hard drive). The notebook was, as you'd imagine, plugged into the charger.Not only was it not asleep--it wouldn't respond to the power button either.I removed the battery, waited a moment, and replaced it. The machine booted and runs normally now.I understand why it might not boot. I'd imagine that the OS was totally messed up. I'm a PC guy and I've seen this happen in the Microsoft world.What I don't understand and worry about it the fact that the machine was so warm. I didn't hear the fan going (I've never yet heard the fan on this notebook). Knowing that heat is dangerous to electronics, I'm worried about this. Any ideas?Also, since this is my first Mac and I'm by no means convinced that Apple is superior to MS/Intel, I have to point out that this reboot is a procedure I've also had to do on my Gateway notebook. The point is that I've now done it once on each machine. The gateway is 10 months old; the mac is exactly 2 weeks old. Of couse I can't make any particular conclusion from this except that I'm going to buy the Apple Care warranty.Anyway, what does this heat episode say about this machine?</blockquote>
