MacBook Pro shutdown failure leads to heat danger
June 27, 2006 · Print This Article
Unlike other users who report their MacBook Pros run really hot, mine runs nice and cool. However, I took my MacBook Pro out to work in a coffee shop for a couple hours today. When I arrived at the shop I discovered my laptop had not shut down completely and was frozen in the last screen before shutdown. While in my case, it had become progressively hotter until I could almost not pick it up. This took about 20 minutes. I wonder what would have happened if it had been left longer.
Not cool.
Evan, you may want to check your battery for swelling - at least, if MacFixIt’s experience is any indication. (My theory is it’s an undocumented feature.)
I might have to check my brain for swelling if I continue to stare at this screen all day…
