Good news. I'm in OS X now after just having done this http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/batteryupdate14.html As well as the power supply getting extremely hot, and short battery life, I was suffering from my batteries not holding their charge properly. I always keep my spare battery fully charged, and found it dead flat the other day after having been out for a week. Also suspended my machine recently with a full battery on Friday only to find it hibernated on Monday morning because the battery was dead. I believe both issues to be related to battery firmware. Haven't actually done any tests yet without a battery; if anyone would care to do so, please report your findings. The good news is that rebooting to Ubuntu cuts battery time to 2:30, but rebooting back to Leopard, it's still 4:30. System's been up for a good 5 minutes now, and the CPU is still on at 40ºC; it would normally be getting fried by now. The CPU itself generates very little heat unless I'm rendering video, the power supply just heats everything else up.

Installing today's updates, the MacBook gets extremely hot and automatically goes into standby. This looks like an emergency standby caused by the EFI or something because it got overheated. Unless you put a metal plate or something under it, the fan runs on highest level at full power, which is not the usual. Is there a tool you can see the CPU temperature with? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
