I'm working on an iBook G3 500MHz. When it starts up, it emits a
strong smell, like something in it is burning or baking. The smell
gradually lessens, but even an hour later is still noticeable. I've
noticed this before in iBooks of this vintage; I think I saw some
discussion of it, years ago, but don't remember where. It does smell
like something I'd rather not be breathing, but I don't know if it's
anything serious regarding the iBook's condition.

Does anyone have any idea what this smell is, if it's anything to
worry about?
