The machine is a 100CT, 64MB, 2GB. I use it with a Linksys wireless PC card. I have installed CPUIdle. The Lib gets rather warm on the center of the underside, about where the silver data sticker is located. Not quite "hot" but "warm", say like the outside of a thick-walled mug of hot coffee. Sometimes I leave it on in the USB docking station and when I remove it, that part of the machine is verging on "hot", say like a tall glass of just-poured hot tea - you can hold it, but you'd sort of like to put it down. My questions are, first, is this normal? Second, suppose one disassembled the Lib and drilled a grid of ventilation holes in the plastic case - would that effectively cool the machine? If so, where should the holes be drilled? ************************************************************** http://libretto.basiclink.com - Libretto mailing list http://libretto.basiclink.com/archive - Archives http://www.picante.com/~gtaylor/portable/faq.html - FAQ -------UNSUBSCRIBE------- mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=cmd:unsubscribe --------UNSUBSCRIBE DIGEST------ Use above but add DIGEST to the subject line... **************************************************************
