MBP 13" Very Hot After Opening From Case

[donster28]

Got a little scare when I got home just now. My new MBP 13" was really hot when I took it out of it's case. It didn't immediately start and I had to push the power button to turn it on again.

I Ran iStat and it showed 150 degrees farenheight.

Then it showed a message that OSX had to close unexpectedly so a report can be sent to Apple.

What could have happened? Could it have been triggered on by another gadget on the subway car I was on?

Is my MBP CPU and other internal components damaged in any way? Although I do not see any damage externally, I am worried that it got damaged inside. My LCD seems fine thank goodness.

Could anyone have experienced this? If so, should I worry?

Thanks.

150 degrees F is not that hot so I doubt your internals are damaged. That is weird though.

The computer is probably fine. If your case is like in a bag or in a neoprene sleeve, etc. they serve as great insulators, and so if you put a hot computer into them and close up the zipper it just traps the heat in and can cause the temperature to stay pretty warm for a long time. I sometimes pulled out a warm laptop from my neoprene sleeve because after walking home because of this.

If I was doing some processor heavy tasks just before I left I'd just put the computer to sleep and let it cool on a desktop for a few minutes before putting it in the bag. Or, if the fan was running at a higher speed before I was going to sleep it, I would just let it sit idle until the fan had brought the temperature down a little and reduced its speed before putting it away. It cools pretty fast cause of the aluminum casing and then it's fine to put in the bag.

I read about this in another thread.

Sounds like your MBP did not properly go to sleep when you put it in the bag.

I think some experienced this after updating from 10.5.6 to 10.5.7

Do an MRoogle search.

Thanks guys. I just thought I'd inquire 'cause it was kinda weird.

At first I was worried that my screen is toast (literally) since it was closed when it got hot. But I think I can stop worrying now.

Thanks again.
