Hi, I setup all my wifi at home when I got the phone. I cannot remember very clearly - how on earth do I switch off / on wifi? Thanks
Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> Connection -> Wireless LAN -> Show availability: Never
You can still use the Wifi features for browsing etc., it just doesn't constantly scan anymore this way.

My screen is really faded, after it shut down (overheated I think) after being on for about an hour.

My screen is really faded, after it shut down (overheated I think) after being on for about an hour. Its kind of like how you see the world, when you get out of a pool that has too much chlorine.
I have tried shutting down, and re-starting. I have re-calibrated.
I have tried changing brightness.
Nothing works so far.
HELP

Wait a few hours before restarting it, also post actual temps. You can download iStatPro for free, once you have restarted, download it and post the actual temps.
Also try resettng the PRAM and SMC, do each multiple times. If you don't know how please click Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets

Another N80 PROBLEM (I think?)

i was stupid enough to get an N80 on ORANGE... eversince the phones constantly connecting to orange internet without even a warning!
has anyone else had this problem or do you think its the sim
is there anything i can do to fix it!

Seraphin,
Dont know what your problem is but you seem to constantly be giving insults to people who dont conform to your ideas or suggestions here.
I have spoken to many people who are not happy about the operator firmware because of problems it gives them because of restrictions and the way that the operator configures the phone so that you have to use their sevices, especially in the begining withought realizing and actualy being charged a large amount of money for these services.
I made one suggestion that somebody can take or not, its up to them, not you..the suggestion wasnt meant for you.
I know many people who have upgraded from network specific firmware to non network specific firmware, and some of those upgrades were done at Nokia sevice centers and the warantees on those phones are still intact. This rightly or wrongly has been explained to them by the NSC and if there is a problem with warantee then this is the problem of the NSC that the upgrade was made.
please keep your personal insults to yourself, or as I have suggested to you before PM me and I will answer you directly, as you keep telling us to the point that its getting boring, these forums are for help and advice, I dont see insults either helpull or good advice.

GT60 0ND - OverHeating (i think so)

Ok so, i started play World of warcraft - wow - again like a month ago ca. I noticed that my fans were working more than usual, but didnt gave it a thought really. here a week ago or something my pc overheated and shut down. And then again the a couple of days after. Only when i play wow In the start i didnt really give it much of a thought cus it only happend when i played like all day (such a nolife.) But today i just played like 40 mins and then it shut down. Also when i start up my pc in the morning to play, i can play on ultra with 0 lag. But when it gets hot my fps drops to like 20, resulting in decreasing graphics.
Okay so according to razer game booster my CPU is around 70-85 when i play something (c) and my harddisk is around 40 when i play wow and i believe it goes up to around 45 and then my pc shuts down. WoW seems to be the only game who can make my harddisk get hot like that. But when its first up on the 40-43 by playing wow, it dont really drop that easilly. Then i kinda have steady 38-40 rest of the time. So according to my friend the harddisk overheat at 45?
The yellow spot http://postimg.org/image/anp5e35qz/ Gets really hot when i play wow, the other "opening" or w/e you call it to the right of it arent weird like the yellow one. It only gets hot when playing WoW and it dosent really seems that its blowing any air out, only a little breeze. If you wanna know anything else just tell me btw im not sure if this can affect it (probally can,) but the last week or so it been really hot here in denmark, so the temperature is pretty high.
Hope someone can help! Anything is appreciated!

k, thx for letting me know
This may be a stupid question but since it ran most games maxed when i started, should i then expect it to get alot worse? only had this pc for 6 months, and it alrdy seem to run ALOT worse.
Like, i have friends with 1-2 year's old laptops that run better, really weird.
Are you sure it's using the NVidia card then? Because it shouldn't get much worse over time. I get the feeling that something else is the problem here.
Have you really checked the temps while playing games? It'd be very good to know the CPU isn't at 90C+ or the GPU isn't at 90C+ while playing these games......that would really make sense given the issues you're talking about.

Shall I keep N80 or go for the SE K800i?

I'm still within my 14 days deal to be able to return my Orange N80.
I see now that the new Sony K800i is now out, bit disapointed with the cm so far on the N80 and I think the K800i will be excellent on past records
what do you think? keep N80 or trade back in and get K800i?
any comments please
My N80 is on Orange purchased in June 2006 firmware v 3.0617.06 03-05-2006

Continued auto-installs after updating firmware

I've recently updated the firmware on my N80 to the new V4.0632 version (Internet Edition).
Previously I had many apps installed to a memory card.
Since doing this, every time I boot up the system automatically attempts to reinstall some applications. Clearly it is trying to fixup apps that were previously on the memory card.
- Some apps just worked after restore
- other apps were broken -- they appeared installed but did not work, so I manually reinstalled & now they're working again
But there are also entries like (from memory) A123456 in the application manager list as "not installed". I assume it is these that are being attempted. Yet searching the memory card for .sis .sisx files (and even jar/jad) is fruitless. Additionally the app manager won't let you DELETE or even find out the file in question.
How do I fix/clean this up other than reformatting the memory card?
BTW I really like the new FW - the internet phone integration is super.

Yeah! I have another way out :try to remeber what were the applications y installed, den re-install em which happened a lot to my N91. Anyway, after upgraded to N80 IE.I think y have no important things on yr phone memory.Then Y format em both.

Qosmio Laptop NOT REPAIRED!!

I was playing world of warcraft the last week of november and while I was playing - about 10 mins into the game, my Qosmio x500 just shuts off with no warning, nothing. I turned the laptop back on thinking it was just some kind of fluke or the battery died, and I loaded up World of Warcraft again and 10 mins into the game, the same thing happened again. I also tried it with Portal and Oblivion and it did the same exact thing. I had reinstalled all my games, and still the same thing happened. Computer just SHUTS OFF!
I sent my laptop off to Repair December 2nd, 2010 and it was in the depot for a MONTH. I Just got it back yesterday afternoon (1/10/11) and I turned it on and everything seemed to work fine. On the diagnosis sheet it said that they replaced BOTH heatsinks and that all tests were passed. For the first time in a month, I turned my laptop on, and loaded up WoW. 10 mins into the game, the computer completely shuts off!!!! It is ONLY when I play Video Games!!! this has to be a Motherboard issue or a GRAPHICS CARD/CPU ISSUE!
I am EXTREMELY upset here!!!!!! My laptop was in service for a month and it seems that the issues has not been repaired/fixed!!! this is a GAMING LAPTOP. THIS is a $2,000 laptop! I bought this laptop to play Video Games and it needs to be fixed. This is outrageous! I am also a college student and I need this laptop to do my homework assignments!!! this laptop needs to be sent back out and repaired CORRECTLY. I am extremely dissapointed that this has not been fixed CORRECTLY.
I have taken great care of this laptop and it has always sat on a desk! Its sad that I have had this laptop for only a year and I am having this much trouble with it!!
PLEASE this issue needs to be fixed CORRECTLY!!!!!

Toshiba doesn't have employees here advising in any official capacity, and you'd have to actually discuss this with Toshiba's tech support, @ 800-457-7777.
I also recommend you maybe settle down a wee bit and think about this more neutrally. You send in a notebook, they replace two heat sinks and then run it through some basic diagnostics and stress tests for probably 12-24 hours. If during that process it functions normally, they aren't going to have time to run random games and other programs to double check, and indeed I doubt they could log into your wow account and test using that program anyway. Both policy and not having your info would prevent it, and that is provided they didn't reimage the drive anyway to eliminate software as the cause for overheating.
Think about it like taking your car to a mechanic. You take it in for a symptom, they fix something that seems to resolve this issue. Within a week or so it is doing the exact same thing, since whatever part they replaced apparently wasn't the root cause of the issue. This happens all the time, and people don't get nearly so shook up about it. You just need to realize that sometimes the issue is not readily apparent, and the things that you would immediately associate with it as a causal agent can easily be just more symptoms of the core problem.

Xorg: blank screen, mouse cursor only - ATI Radeon HD3450

Last friday, my old Nvidia card died (overheated, I think). I got a replacement today: an ATI HD3450 card by Asus (R600 series). This is an old PC with an AGP slot, so my options were unfortunately limited. I was looking for a Nvidia replacement originally, to avoid having to reconfigure stuff, but that turned out to be too hard. So I got an ATI card instead. I regret this decision now... it works fine in console mode, but I can't get it to work in X.
I've tried radeon and radeonhd drivers. I'm reluctant to try catalyst, seeing as they do not support the current kernel version (2.6.32) and I don't want to downgrade.
radeonhd (xf86-video-radeonhd) is just a disaster. When I try to start X, all I see is a screen which is mostly black, except for a garbled band of about 1/4th the screen height, mostly white with some random colours thrown in.
radeon (xf86-video-ati) doesn't work either. When X starts, all I see is the mouse cursor. And nothing else. Just a black screen with a mouse cursor. The funny thing is, it's all there, I just can't see it. When I tried "startxfce4", the cursor would change shapes when it was over window edges or text boxes. But they were invisible. Too bad.
When I run "startx" as root, I see a couple of twm windows (the default configuration, I normally don't use X as root), and I can interact with them, but it's as if the screen isn't refreshed properly. When I move a window, it isn't redrawn, but it was definitely moved, because when I enter text in it, the text appears at the new position. The 'vesa' driver works, but I can't use that for obvious reasons.
I have read the wiki article about ATI drivers and tried some of the things mentioned there (no xorg.conf, simple xorg.conf with some combinations of the sections mentioned, ...). I'm pretty sure the problem isn't KMS-related, because it's disabled by default with the 2.6.32 kernel.
What pisses me off the most is that I get no error messages whatsoever, so I haven't a clue what could be the problem. I'm working on getting some Xorg.0.log output in this thread ASAP.
Anybody have any idea what could cause this? I would really like to get this working soon. It would kinda suck if it turns out I've replaced an unusable graphics card with another unusable graphics card.
If the radeonhd problem is easier to solve, then solutions for that are welcome as well. I just need a working driver that can handle compiz, and doesn't require me to downgrade my kernel.
EDIT: Xorg.0.log contents, enjoy!

Another update: the card seems to work just fine under windows, so it is definitely a configuration or driver issue.

"Enabling KMS will make Xorg fall back to software rasterizing, at the cost of 3D performance. " <- is this still true at the moment? In that case, enabling KMS really isn't the solution I'm looking for. Back to square one
This is not true. Software rasterization indicates that KMS was not set up correctly. You will get 3D acceleration with KMS correctly configured.
Thanks for taking the time to reply
I'll give enabling KMS a try. What thread is it that you're talking about? Also should I follow the "early start" or "late start" instructions?
EDIT: I'm guessing you mean this one? http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=613720
That thread is the one I meant.
Your xf86-video-ati doesn't have support for KMS - you have to rebuild it against libdrm_radeon. This also means that you have to rebuild mesa against same new libdrm because mesa doesn't have KMS support without libdrm_radeon either.
Is this information applicable to my situation? No instructions on how to do this are provided, so I have no idea how to try it, or if it's worth trying at all.
Yes, this is a problem. You have to modify a PKGBUILD or two and build/install the packages in the correct order. I detail the right way to do everything below.
I used the following packages:
* kernel26-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25304 (you must configure with CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m. CONFIG_DRM_RADEON_KMS=y enables KMS by default. you should be presented with a configuration menu when the package builds. type '/' to search.)
* kernel26-firmware-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25782
* radeon_ucode: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33016
* libdrm-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=10254 (you must edit the PKGBUILD to enable radeon support, see below)
* glproto-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18964
* dri2proto-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19051
* libgl-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19044 (this is out of date and requires a patch. see my comment on the AUR page)
* mesa-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=8266 (you can reuse src/mesa from libgl-git, it clones the same repository)
* xf86-video-ati-git: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15374 (you can reuse src/mesa from libgl-git)
libdrm-git PKGBUILD:
sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr \
--enable-nouveau-experimental-api \
--enable-udev || return 1
# --enable-radeon-experimental-api
libdrm-git PKGBUILD modified:
sh autogen.sh --prefix=/usr \
--enable-radeon-experimental-api \
--enable-udev || return 1
Install those packages in that order and add yourself to the video group. Make sure that your grub configuration has an option to select the new kernel. Also make sure all of your PKGBUILDs from AUR are up to date. A week or two ago they were all wrong (as a noted above, one of them is still wrong and requires a patch).
I hope that helps. Eventually Arch will support KMS for radeon by default, but the driver and the kernel need to go through another release or two.

A never ending series of problems

I've had my Lenovo 3000 V200 for about a year and a half now. I have the 3 year on-site warranty so I've got that going for me.
Everything was great with the computer for the first 1+ year. Then, a few months ago the hard drive failed. I've always been extremely careful when moving the computer around, never drop it onto the desk or anything like that, so I figured it was just bad luck. Lenovo sent me a replacement hard drive, I replaced it, lost my emails (everything else was backup up regularly) and thought that was that.
Then my computer started overheating - I think it probably started about month ago, but honestly I probably didn't recognize a problem right away. The computer would shut itself off, and I didn't know at first if it was the operating system, or other software, or the computer. Then, I tried backing up the computer to DVD (about 30GB worth of data) and it shut itself off after 10 minutes or so. After multiple attempts, it was clear the computer was overheating. I posted a question relating to this on this forum a few weeks ago. The suggestion I got was to call for service.
I did just that. Lenovo care originally suggested that we replace the fan. I knew that wasn't the problem because the fan was actually blowing strongly at high speed constantly. I suggested it might be something with the system board, but they were reluctant. Finally they agreed to replace the fan and CPU. I cancelled my schedule for the next day, waited for the tech, who came and replaced the fan and CPU. This actually seemed to solve the problem. The computer would no longer shut down after 5-10 minutes. When I asked the tech if we should test out the system, he declined, but things seemed to work fine. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of it.
A few days later, I noticed that the built-in Bluetooth was no longer functional. I don't use bluetooth every day, so I didn't notice until a few days later. I went through and checked the software, the drivers, the access connections, everything. Basically, the computer showed that the hardware was not present. Again, I called Lenovo Care. They suggested all manner of things, wasting 2+ hours of my time trying things that were just asinine. Finally, they agree that there was a problem and agreed to send someone out to replace the bluetooth module in the computer. This was last Friday. Again, I cancelled everything on my schedule to wait around for the tech. The same tech came out and replaced the module (who knew this sort of thing could take several hours). This time we tested it out after he finished. Same thing, no bluetooth hardware detected. He then got on the phone with Lenovo Care who instructed him to try all the same asinine things they asked me to try the day before. In fact, I was joking and having a laugh with the tech as he worked, describing what they suggested. They must have a playbook they follow, without actually thinking about a problem. Anyhow, they couldn't get it to work, and the tech couldn't do anything else. The last thing they suggested was to update the BIOS - even though the Bluetooth as working just fine before the first service attempt. I could see that there was nothing he could do for me so I agreed.
I updated the BIOS, pretty straightforward process. Not suprisingly, this didn't fix the problem, so within an hours after the tech left, I was back on the phone with Lenovo Care. I described the problem and after another half hour on the phone they concluded that the system board needed to be replaced, perhaps because it was damaged due to overheating or whatever. Like I didn't already suggest this originally. Anyhow, they set up a visit for today (Monday), so again I cancel appointments and free up my schedule for the 3rd time in two weeks and sit around all day...AND NOBODY SHOWS UP! I call in a 7pm to get an explanation as to why so they transfer me over to dispatch. Honestly, a customer shouldn't be expected to know how everything works behind the scences at a company to get service. First, the guy in dispatch lies to me and says that everyone is gone; when I refuse to accept this he miraculously finds someone to speak with. They claim that they tried to call but were unable to reach me. It's the exact same number they reached me at twice in the past two weeks! After an hour on the phone and on hold, I get cut off. I call back and speak to another rep who agrees to put me in touch with a manager. After 6-7 mintues on hold, I get cut off when he tries to transfer me! So, I call back, get another rep who looks up the case, then spend 15 minutes on hold. Finally a manager gets on the phone with me and spends 20-30 minutes explaining that he cannot do anything at all for me. And get this, after placing my call at 7pm and being on hold with various parties for 1:15, they tell me everyone in dispatch left at 8pm!
Now they can't even schedule someone to come out tomorrow, because it's too late to schedule a next-business-day repair (completely ignoring the fact that today was a business day when nobody showed up). So now, the best possible result is that I waste another entire day waiting around for someone to fix this computer. The worst case, of course, is that they don't show up again, or they show up and still don't fix the problem (seing as how they've failed 3 times already I don't have much confidence).
Thank god I paid extra for the 3 years of on-site service, however the actual service delivered has been quite substandard. I know that some companies (Best Buy for example) will replace a computer if they cannot repair it in 3-4 tries. So, what should I do. I'll waste another day waiting around for a tech to show up, but then what? Does Lenovo have a lemon policy for computers that they cannot fix after a reasonable number of attempts? Do they have a policy for compensating people for missed appointments? What about simply substandard service? Anyone have suggstions on what else I can do, or who I should speak with? I really feel that this situation is quite ridiculous, and I'm extremely frustrated with way these problems have been handled. I haven't yet been able to speak with someone willing to take responsibility for the service that Lenovo delivers - just people saying "that's not my department", "I'm limited in what I can do for you" and on and on.
Thanks.

Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.

MacBook Pro destroying batteries

Ok guys...I have an issue with my MBP. Ive had it for a long time now and it has had a few trips to the apple store to see what the problem was. Im posting this to share with you, my crazy experience that im still not out of. Maybe some of you have had this problem, but whatever info I can get would be helpful.
My problem will be best put into a little timeline.
My MBP was purchased in July of last year (06). It came out of the box working wonderfully and without one single problem..no whine, no screen issues, Nothing. It served me well from the start, and continued to untill about 5 months ago.
The first incident took place in school when my computer was plugged into the AC power connector. Someone unplugged it for a second to connect my plug to a power strip, and "poof" my computer went dead. Out of nowhere.
I didnt really think there was a problem until I pushed the charge indicator on the battery and found out that the battery was fully charged! Through experimenting with it, I found out that the only way my computer stayed on was to be hooked up to the AC power into the wall. This is a problem considering my laptop's main purpose is to be portable.
I scheduled an appointment that week and took it down and got it checked out. The guy was really cool about it and explained that some batteries are just bad, or go bad over time. I was pleased to hear that, and remembered reading something about a battery recall. So he placed a new battery in and like magic, the MBP came on and worked on its own! I was happy that it wasnt my computer, and that it was just a defective battery.
The new battery he gave me worked wonderfully, for about, 3 months. Then, one day, out of nowhere, "poof" , It just died again after being removed from the wall on full charge. Like I said before, It would power on, and work fine while plugged in, and the battery read as fully charged.
I still wasnt too concerned because I saw how easily it was fixed before and just thought, maybe there are a lot of faulty batteries out there.
Took it back to the store 2 weeks ago, and told them of my previous visit for the same issue. He told me that it could be the logic board or the battery. Then, he put a new battery in and it worked again perfectly, so he said it was the battery and not the logic board. Once again, my computer worked and I was satisfied.
One day soon after, my AC power connector was plugged into the magsafe slot on my computer, I was just working on the computer normally, when smoke began to rise from the magsafe connector. I quickly unplugged it and looked at it closer...The wires had actually gotten hot enough to melt the cable almost half way through! so I have this melted magsafe cord now that cannot be used. Luckily, my girlfriend also has a mac and let me share hers for all this time. So I was planning on getting down to the apple store this week...
Then, last night, I was working on my computer while plugged into AC power again. I moved from where I was sitting and bumped the magsafe connector off of its slot on my computer and once again, I hear that awful sound of your hard drive spinning to a halt when your computer completely dies!
Yeah...three times this has happened. Im concerned now and worried.
So basically, Im worried what can be done about this. I dont understand it, Im pretty sure that ALL 3 batteries were not defected. That would be too crazy considering almost everyone else I know that has one has an ok battery. So Is my Macbook Pro destroying the batteries? Did It destroy the magsafe?
Im not sure what to do...Has anyone ever had a magsafe replaced due to the same situation? and if anyone has a clue, what could be causing my computer to kill batteries completely over the course of 3 months?
Let me just clear a few points up so that you understand some things that I have already ruled out...
1. I understand that a magsafe is not meant to be pulled out by the cord and never once removed it like that. I tried to educate myself in the right way to preserve my computer. I read about them breaking because people pull on them hard, but I can assure you that never happened.
2. My computer only does this on batteries that it has for long periods of time. In other words, at any given moment, I can grab my friend's MBP battery and put it in my computer and it will work just fine. So I ruled out that maybe my computer isnt able to recieve the battery power. If it was a problem like that, then why do other batteries work fine?
therefore, it has to be the batteries, but something that happens over a few months use.
3. I understand that batteries eventually die out. But I also know that it takes a while for that to happen normally. Im not one of those people who leave my computer charging all day, or on all day for that matter. My computer use is what I would call very normal and average. Average enough that a brand new battery loses capacity in two weeks. Not to mention, the batteries are fully charged.
4. last thing.....my "defective" batteries wont power any other MBP's either. So its not just my computer being funny about connecting. But maybe that its ruining the batteries.
I dont know what to think. I cant explain it. I love Macs and understand that there are problems that can happen with any technology, but I just dont want to end up spending a complete fortune fixing this thing and Im worried that is the road im headed down.
I realize this post is extremely long. I thank whoever made it this far. Im just trying to include everything so that you completely understand as best as you can.
anything you can tell me would be so helpful. I have another term of school coming on tuesday and this huge problem on my hands.
Thanks!

Lithium ION and lithium polymer batteries have a built-in microprocessor to control the charge rate of the battery. A lithium battery that is overcharged can overheat and catch fire or explode. If the microprocessor determines that the battery is in danger, it can permanently disconnect the battery cells from the outside world. Coupled with the fact that you have had a magsafe connector fail from overheating, I think the charging circuit in your MBP needs to be replaced.

Run Windows from External HD

I have a 15 inch June 2012 Macbook Pro Core i7 with 500GB. I want to run windows with bootcamp with an external hard drive. Is it possible to boot natively into windows with a bootcamp partition from a 500GB USB 3.0 External HD? I dont have the HD or windows disk yet because I want to make sure this works. If it doesnt with boot camp, is there a 3rd party app that can do this or is it possible with a SSD? I dont want to emulate this, I want native windows.
PS I dont have much space left on my internal 500GB HD, but I do have enough for some apps.

by emulate i mean i dont want it on vmware, i want it to run fast. If you can put the files on the external HD and if it runs fast, than ok, but i really want it to run fast. i want to play games.
If you search through this forum for MacBook Pros overheating, I think you'll find that the MBP isn't the ideal laptop for playing games. And from what I've read, temperature control is even worse when running Windows in BootCamp.

Lenovo G505s: Overheating?

Hello.
Is it normal for the temperature of the GPU to fluctuate around 60C when I'm not really doing anything on my laptop (Lenovo G505s)? So far it has turned itself off twice because of overheating (I think that's the reason, as each time it was really hot right after I turned it back on). Today I played a video (format: MKV, 1080p), and the temperature went up to 86C after just a few minutes. I figured it was getting a bit too high, so I closed the video for fear that the laptop might turn itself off again.
What could be the cause?
Thanks in advance.

Hi DN01,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that your G505s Laptop is getting overheated, I suggest you to perform “Dust Removal” feature provided in “Lenovo Energy Management” to make sure there is no dust particles in the CPU FAN and also make sure you use the Laptop on a Flat surface to increase the air flow in the Laptop.
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

Asus G73Jh overheating?

Recently my laptop, an Asus G73Jh, has started overheating I think. Whenever I'm playing a game, whether it's EVE, MW2 or the Witcher 2, my screen goes black, then it shutsdown after 5-10 minutes. The right side of my keyboard, presumably my graphics card, gets warmer as well. I've tried blowing it out with air duster to no avail. What can I do to fix this?
Solved!

When you're talking about heating problems like that, there really isn't anything simple you can do. You can research your model online to see if this is a known issue, and see if a BIOS update or something fixes it, or buy a chill-mat to work around the problem.
However, if you really want it fixed, this type of issue really needs to be brought in to be looked at. Taken apart to see if a fan has gone bad, or what not.

Unable to delete highlight : No Inspector

I have re-opened a pages document to find the text highlighted. I can find nothing in Edit that works. I have tried clicking on Inspector/Format, and it comes up blank. I have tried changing colour, nothing works. As a comment, this has to be the worst word processing system I have experienced. I do wonder whether Apple has the right people who understand what word processing means.

I bought the Macbook Pro at the end of Snow Leopard period. I gradually updated to Mountain Lion, then Mavericks, but wasn’t impressed as my system was very slow; I found that I couldn’t back-up on my G-Tech drive any longer as it kept ejecting (overheating I think) as the length of time it was taking to try backing up. I did permissions verify/repair which was now taking ½ a day, but that didn’t work either. The MacBook then kept shutting down without warning. The last time it went into the kernel. I tried to boot in Safe mode from the Snow Leopard disk I had with me, but it wouldn’t allow me. I eventually got it to boot from a stick I purchased containing Mountain Lion. I will not upgrade to Mavericks on the Pro now that it seems to be working and the G-Tech hard drive isn’t being ejected anymore.
As to the Air which I have just purchased, I am loathe to start tampering with it at this early stage. I have only had it a few days, so it shouldn’t be playing up this early I wouldn't have thought. The only problem I have encountered has been with Pages 5.1. I had thought that Pages 4.3 was incompatible with Mavericks, but perhaps it isn’t. At the moment it is of no use to me as I am stuck on a small island in the Channel and my DVD player is in UK. I purchased iWorks 09 on disk and, unfortunately, without the player, I cannot load it onto the Air to see if it works. I tried the App store but no joy.
Hope this clarifies it a little more Peter.
