i had a similar experience when i sent my lombard in to have the mobo replaced. i ended up with a new battery, they appear to have tightened the hinges, and the thing came back cleaner than it's ever been. unfortunately it's back at apple now because when they reassembled it they forgot to replace the heat transfer thingy that fits between the heat shield and the processor chip. thing was overheating in 10 minutes. had to use it under a ceiling fan with the keyboard opened up. used an external keyboard and mouse for a few weeks. -- _________________________________________________________________________ �[EMAIL PROTECTED] � � � � � � �http://www.bluemarble.net/~meweber/ "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary �safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." � � - Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759. _________________________________________________________________________ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
