Found an interesting page at: http://macweek.zdnet.com/1999/08/08/tokyo.html (for full text) about overheating and Apple Japan fixing it in the 2400c/240 version is there a fix for our USA 2400c/180's? A post from one reader inquiring about the subnotebook's tendency to overheat -- a problem he'd also encountered -- prompted Mr. Mizutani to solicit other users' opinions. The responses he received made it clear that overheating was a common problem. Moreover, some readers complained that Apple Japan hadn't investigated or even listened to their complaints about the situation. Individual complaints don't always sway Apple Japan, but a group effort like this can be very effective in making the company move. Mr. Mizutani used his site as a public forum to press for a solution to the 2400c problem. The movement was well-organized, and other Japanese Webmasters also supported his action. The information amassed on his page gave readers a handle on the current situation. His dedicated Web work also created a sense of unity among 2400c users. What's more, it worked. Apple Japan finally admitted to the overheating problem and started to examine it seriously. The company found that the overheating was caused by an incomplete connection between the heat sink and the CPU. The result of their efforts: the PowerBook2400c/240, a revision to the original PowerBook2400c/180 that features significant improvements to the system's heat management.
