The bottom of my laptop gets too hot. the case come off

i have to take to apple store if my my edge of the cover is coming off? because of heat in hot weather. i did not realize? one of my screw came off. i can't find it. it become loose!!!

i will explain better. my case bottom become loosely because one of the screws became loosely. so i usually make it tighter all the time with my screwdriver. it happened since last year. now it become more loosely, and i didn't realize the screw came off and i couldn't find it because it was so tight. then the cover on the edge on the bottom on left become loosely a little. only the cover, not the case (aluminum). i don't know how it happened.

  • Laptop Gets Too Hot To Touch....

    My four year old Power Book G-4 gets so hot on the bottom at the cover to the RAM compartment, that I can't keep my hand on the cover. This has gotten worse over the years, and I'm wondering if the cooling fan (is there one?) has gone bad, or is there another reason?
    Any ideas.....?

    Hi cartercal,
    Boot up from your install DVD and select hardware test, it will rev up the fans, you should be able to hear them spinning as it goes through the test. This will also tell you if something is wrong.
    If I remember correctly, hold down the option key as you boot with the DVD in the drive to use hardware test.
    Good luck!

    Hi,
    you may want to consider gettinig the heatsink cleaned if the unit heats up now and was working fine before.
    http://bizsupport1.austin.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=125&prodSe...
    also, you may need to consider using product on flat and hard surface only and within recommended ambient temprature. its recommended to use the product within 5~35 C only. please have a check on it.
    hope it helps.

  • Does the iMac G5 get too hot?

    Greetings to all.
    I would like to start a thread about the iMac G5 and heat. I found a few old threads, but I would like to bring that topic up again.
    I have a 1st Generation iMac G5 (purchased end November 2004). For the second time since November 2004, it was defective and the Logicboard was replaced (so my Apple Dealer told me).
    First time, in November 2005, the screen went pink. Second time, earlier this month, my Mac didn't boot anymore.
    The full amount for the repair (including shipping to Apple (Belgium), work hours, etc.) was over 500.00 euro (about 700 USD for you, Americans).
    I believe that the iMac G5 (at least: my 1st Gen one) is simply getting too warm.
    The day before, I installed "Hardware Monitor". It gave the following (average) temperatures:
    CPU: 60.6 - 63.8° Celsius (141-164° F)
    HD: 57.5° C (135.5° F)
    It is my opinion that the (my) iMac is getting too hot to be "healthy". I have 2 PC's, in which I installed extra fans (at the back and at the side). One of these, with an Athlon64 3000+ (1.8 GHz) and a 120 Gb Seagate Barracuda gives (average) temperatures for the:
    CPU: 36.5° C (97.5° F)
    HD: 26° C (78.5° F)
    My second PC, an old (modded) HP Vectra, with an Intel P4 at 1.6 GHz and a 80 Gb Seagate Barracuda, gives as average temperature (HD only):
    HD: 37° C (98° F)
    It may not be correct to compare my iMac with PC's - but harddisks are harddisks, wheather it is a Western Digital (250 HD in my Mac) or a Seagate (PC HD's), and it is only logical that a(n average) HD temperature of 57 degrees Celsius (128° F) in the long term can not be healthy, while the harddisks of my PC's are a lot, lot cooler.
    The PPC, too, gets much hotter than my Athlon CPU (and the P4 most likely too).
    Therefor: is my suspicion correct that the/my iMac G5 in general is getting too hot for its own good? Even though it may be summer here (Belgium), I still find such a difference in heat values between my iMac and my PC's not "right".
    Both the times that my iMac was defective, the Logicboard was replaced.
    Is it possible that in both cases heat is the problem (directly or indirectly) of the defects of my iMac?
    Basically we have a desktop computer constructed like a laptop, with all the hardware stuffed together in a very tight space. Why did they not keep the heat issue more in mind, when the iMac G5 was designed?
    I believe that the heat is a very negative factor in the/my iMac G5. If I will have to pay such a small fortune, every time my Mac breaks down, being a Mac owner will become quite expensive.
    iMac G5 (PPC), 17-inch, Superdrive, Mac OS X (10.4.10) 1.5 GB RAM, 250 Gb Western Digital HD
    iMac G5 (PPC), 17-inch, Superdrive, Mac OS X (10.4.10) 1.5 GB RAM, 250 Gb WesternDigital HD
    iMac G5 (PPC), 17-inch, Superdrive,   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   1.5 GB RAM, 250 Gb WesternDigital HD

    Your Mac should have been repaired under the Apple power supply or video and power issues as long as your serial numbers were covered.
    As far as normal operating temps are concerned, my Rev A is at this moment, running at CPU T-Diode 144∘and my Hard Drive is at 128∘so your temperatures seem well within normal ranges.
    Yes, the machines tend to run a bit hot, but as long as the ambient temperature is not too high, they are fine. The failures were originally cause by a bad batch of capacitors but since those have mostly been replaced, the machines are much more reliable.
    Some people train a small fan on the back of the computer to keep it cool, that may help you.

  • My Ipod touch 2nd gen. was working fine but when I tried to charge from my PC the Ipod start getting too hot and the screen turn black and doesn't  work anymore.Maybe is burn?

    My Ipod touch 2nd generation was working fine until I tried to charge again from my PC,when I connected the Ipod was getting too hot and smelling like burn cable,the screen turn black and doesn't work anymore. any ideas about what happen?

    You can try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    However, from your discription, I suspect that something is broken.  Maybe a dead battery.  In that case. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and see what they say.

  • Macbook pro retina display 15" charger getting too hot... any advice?

    I have had my Macbook pro retina 15" since Jan 2014 and it has been working fine. Just recently, I have noticed that the charger block and the connector to the laptop gets extremely hot as does the actual laptop. I have looked around on the net and most of the discussions regarding this have been on earlier models. The charger block itself is so hot that it emanates heat and is too hot to touch! The plug into the laptop is pretty darn hot as well. When charging, I can't keep the macbook on my lap because it gets too hot.
    I have checked all the connectors and the connections of all bits involved and they all seem good. I have also tried to minimalise all programs that are running.
    Just wondering if someone can suggest anything, otherwise it looks like a trip to the store
    Many thanks in advance

    Bfore you run to the store try this SMC ret, it fixes

  • Having problems with phone getting too hot when not in use

    Hi there -- I'm trying to figure out what I can do to fix this.  Recently I had to get a replacement S3 because my original shut off mid-use and wouldn't turn back on.  The replacement has been here for about a month and in the last 2 weeks I'm having issues with it getting too hot.  The first time it happened, I had it plugged into the stock charger for about 1 1/2 hours - and I had picked it up expecting it to be fully charged but it was extremely hot and had a warning on the main screen saying that the battery was critically hot and was not charging and the phone was nearly completely dead.  I unplugged it, took the battery out and let the main phone body cool down.  After about 15 minutes, the body felt like room temperature again, so I put it all back together.  It turned on, charged normally that night and all was well. 
    Now for the last several days, I'm having issues again with it getting hot at random times when I'm not even using it (and not charging it).  The last time, I downloaded a temperature app and it said the phone was nearly 105 degrees, and it felt the hottest right at the home button.  Later that night after it cooled down, I noticed that the battery wasn't charging at all and was depleting rapidly on the charger.  I restarted twice with no change and then took the battery out and let it sit for several minutes.  After that it began charging again. 
    With it getting hot so much more often now, I'm starting to worry about this happening when I need my phone for an emergency as I spend a lot of time on the road transporting my kids to school and activities.  Is there a fix for this?  It doesn't appear to be the battery because my husband and I have the same phone and I've already swapped batteries with him - same issue for me, no issue for him.  Please help?  Thanks!

        Hello Micheliu813, let's get to the bottom of this together! Are you using the same charger that came with the phone or a 3rd party charger? We can also test the phone in safe mode to see if the device heats up again. Check here for steps: http://vz.to/1kb9LUM

  • My Z61M seems to get too hot

    First of all I would like to appologize if this is a question already answered, I tried seaching forums to find an answer first but with no success.
    I have a Z61m Laptop upgraded to 4Gig RAM (3Gig Used) and Running Windows Vista.
    It seems that when my CPU runs at 1,6Ghz it runs quite warm. I play a java game that uses around 50-60 percent of my CPU and it seems that my computer gets up to 70⁰C hot...This was from a quite short test yesterday, but i got a feeling it would get even hotter if i keept playing.
    Is it my CPU fan thats the problem? I can not seem to find the settings to turn up its speed in BIOS.
    Does anyone know How hot my CPU can get. And this seems to be too much ...the laptop gets very hot at the bottm after some hours of use.
    I hope someone can help me out or point me to something that can
    Thank you in advance

    If your screen switches OFF and your computer is very Hot, then your system is overheating.
    This might be because the Fan isn't properly working any longer. I have such an Issue right now on my Z61p:
    CPU 63°C (0x78)
    APS 57°C (0x79)
    PCM 39°C (0x7a)
    GPU 75°C (0x7b)
    BAT 50°C (0x7c)
    BAT 44°C (0x7e)
    BUS 48°C (0xc0)
    PCI 58°C (0xc1)
    PWR 59°C (0xc2)
    As you can see, the GPU is at 75°C. According to the discussion in my "GPU 120°C - is it OK?"-Thread 75°C-80°C should be max for GPU. The normal Temperature should be around 50°C.
    I use Thinkpad T43 Fan Control under Windows XP Pro to get these results. If there is a system tool directly by Lenovo to read out the sensors and get the Fan-Speed please drop a note, I'm interested to find out more.

  • Are my processors getting too hot

    I'm not sure if my laptop is getting too hot. I got this program "SpeedFan" that says my processors are around 65-69 degrees C. Sometimes I will be playing a game and the computer will go into sleep mode all of a sudden. I'm not sure that it is attributed to the temperature of the processors or it is set to go to sleep at a certain time

    Get yourself a cheap fan blowing air directly at the MBP. Combined with a cooling pad, I got my MBP 17" with the very warm 8600M GT GPU to get down as far as 20 degrees celsius below what it was before (I was having a good 80-85 degrees celsius on the GPU diode from iStat Pro readings, terrible, considering the low workload!). So now it's around 65 celsius instead on low workload.
    The real problem with NVIDIA 8600 series cards, notorious in Dell and HP laptops (look it up on the web, it's a major debate and controversy in the news on NVIDIA), is that the instructions to cool it down by kicking in the fans are not properly calibrated with the actual temperature, so if you juice it and it warms up, the fans on my MBP for instance won't really kick in until it is very warm.
    Ideally, the fans would go faster at lower temperatures, scaling up nicely... I use the SMC Fan Control to crank 'em up before GPU and CPU intensive tasks such as computer simulations, movie watching, and video games playing.
    Hope this is of any help!
    cheers,

  • My iphone 4s gets too hot with ios 6

    Hi Everyone. Just joined the community. I noticed since I upgraded to ios 6 on my iphone 4s it has been getting too hot when in using it. i noticed it would get hot when using maps and playing games. it would not get this hot too quiclky on ios 5.1.1. I also read that some iphone 5 users have the same problem as well as 4s users with ios 6. Can anyone give me some feedback and info. on this ? Hopefully there will be a fix for this soon.

    Mines never did that until recently. It depends on your usage and apps.
    It's basically normal to get hot, especially charging. Now if you talking about oven hot then you have a
    Problem. All my friends iphone 4s does it, so it's normal. Streaming videos while multi tasking can cause it also.

  • Pin connector of ze2308wm notebook ac adapter gets too hot

    My pin connector of my ac adapter gets too hot whenever I'm working on my ze2308 wm notebook.  It doesn't whenever I set it on "Standby."  Is this normal like that of ac adapter?

    Hello dbuser!
    Welcome to the Forums Community! How long have you experienced the A/C Adapter getting hot? Were you using a different battery before the 6 cell?
    According the the e530 Personal Systems Reference the 65W Adapter is the correct adapter for the 6 cell battery. It is possible that you have a defective adapter. Does the adapter make any noise, buzzing or cracking sound? If it is making any noise there is a definete issue with the adapter you are using.

  • My new 32gb iPhone 5 gets too hot during phone calls. Is this normal?

    My new 32gb iPhone 5 gets too hot during phone calls. Is this normal?

    Mine will get hot mostly if I'm in an area with poor reception.  The phone will juice up the power output to lock onto a signal and will cause it to get hot and battery will drain much faster.

  • My phone gets too hot Everytime I use it, why? I don't know what to do!

    Everytime I use my iPhone 5s it gets too hot. I've done everything. Even while charging it gets too hot. It's been like this for 2 days straight and I am compeltely baffled. I barely have any apps on my phone so I dont understand as to what the problem is…any help?

    So what does 'everything' mean? You've done each of the following 4 troubleshooting steps; restart, reset, restored from backup, restored as new? If so then you likely have a hardware problem and it needs to be examined at an Apple store.

  • My iPad gets too hot to handle! What's up with that?

    I have the new iPad 3, and it gets too hot to handle... Is apple gonna fix that or what?

    There probably is no fix for it. Contact Apple or if you bought the iPad at an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment, show them the iPad and they will replace it if the device is faulty.
    There is no way that it should get to hot to handle - mine barely gets warmer than my original iPad does. Take it back, get it replaced.
