I know this is the iPhone forum, but I don't know where else to ask!

I got a MBA in January, and it has been fine until about a month or two ago. Since then, it started overheating with in 2 minutes of use, and the fan would be on whether it is awake for asleep. I took it to the Genius bar a few times, and they said it is fixed. But it is still doing it. What should I do? Demand a replacement?

Details?? What is the actual temp? As for the fan, it is always on when your computer is on. As for the fan being on in sleep mode, someone else here with more technical knowledge will have to clarify that.
