I would be picking that the temporary problem with your laptop was condensation, after being warm, and suddenly cooled, the moisture in the air condensed in your electronics causing all sorts of abnormalities….. when returned to heat, the moisture would have re-evaporated…… with the problems magically dissapearing !!!

just a thought !!

good luck with the bills,

Tama.

Sir Rom, the Windy City! I’ve always been allured by Chicago, even if I haven’t actually stepped foot on the US.

Yep, I read your SeeThru case post days ago, and I’ve pledged to myself that once I’ve got an MBP, that red case is one of the first accessories I’ll ever buy. Red!!

Before I took it to Cyberzone, I shut down the laptop, along with the aircon, and left them for about half an hour. Still, the keys didn’t work, and that’s when I decided to have it ‘repaired’. Seems the hot temperature outside the house and inside the poorly airconditioned taxi did wonders, hehe!

I got a Speck Product SeeThru case and even at 85C, my ‘book is now “lapable”. heheheh…

As for your notebook, have you tried shutting it down instead of rebooting? Some issues are solved by turning off the computer (or include battery removal) - rebooting is simply not enough.

Anyway, like Corsarius, I’d rather be in snow covered winter night than in sahara desert environment! Unfortunately, the wife prefers warm environments. I wonder how she’d feel if (when?) we transfer to Chicago.

Of course, I don’t have a 17″ MBC Core 2 Duo.

(And I think the MBP gets too hot for air conditioning to cool down.)

Anonymous, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, I’m working in confined spaces…I can’t fit a small fan in any area beside/behind the laptop. It’s a pain to describe, but trust me, my ‘office’ is crowded.

MBacarra, well, that too, hehe..though heat has a more damaging effect on me than the cold. I sweat quite easily, and when I sweat, I get distracted in work.
