I have noticed recently (on a trip to dry Arizona) that if my iBook2 gets a static shock, the fan turns on and won't turn off. It's rather annoying. Is there any way to turn the fan off when this happens? - -Corey ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

Not that I know... except maybe putting it to sleep & waking it up Ben. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

I wonder if you don't have a loose / exposed wire or something :) Does the fan stay on during sleep? -- Tom Rini http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/

The fan shuts off during sleep, but comes right back on when you wake it. I suppose it could be a loose wire, perhaps an ungrounded temperature sensor, hard to say. -Corey ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
