You can also set a free standing fan to run onto it from beside it,
we use this when using the laptop for long periods and find it works
rather well, even if it does get a little cold using the mouse on
cold days.

may be just as a temporary solution
put you macbook onto a larger aluminium plate or heat sink (from a
broken down amplifier), the 'heatsink is taking more heat away then
just the air going underneath through...
i'm doing that for ages with my powerbook to reduce the time the
fan is running

hi folks,
Macbook Pro 2.33 gHz Core 2 keeps dying. dead as a doornail, after
a few hours, like the plug kicked out.
I have decided it is overheating, cause every time this happens
the fan isn't on but the chassis is almost uncomfortably warm.
Have propped it up off the desk but still happens.
downloaded a widget to check temp, but the readout doesn't make
sense... eg "5.19" whatever that means...
if the fan is not kicking in is that a bit of software
malfunctioning? Will the usual things eg permission repair and
pram zapping do anything?
Thanks for any tips. DD
