Powerbook Warping
Hi, I have a powerbook 12in and it is warping.Is it normal. And how much will it cost to have it fixed. Also I have a friend who has the same computer and specs as I do and his screen is warped so bad its hangin on by a thread. Why is there warping on the screen. There is no heat in the screen.

No, Warping is when the aluminuim gets hot enough it starts to bend bends off its fitting.

Maybe it's just the feet that fell off? Happened to mine.
Feet are fine all there its just the aluminum bending due to the processers heat.

the heat required to make alluminum mallable would be enough to start you on fire. it's not the heat that's doing it.
Yeah. looked up the softening point of aluminum and it is 700 K, roughly 350 K above the temperature your computer could reasonably be considered to be. It ain't the heat. Did you sit on it?

May god bless your soul. some one actually respects my topics and not insults me on my topic for them not believing in it. Thank you wrong robot.
My sister is having the warping issue. And Apple told her it was "normal" per thier recent release on the topic. I am holding off on getting a new PB until there is some sort of resolution of the topic. The next (supposedly) G4 does not really better my current 'book, either.
I look forward to the day in about 2009 when I finally am rid of every Moto CPU in my Mac office.

when your topic states that the heat from your processor is enough to make your powerbook's aluminum casing bend, i don't think you get much respect right off the bat.
Its not uncommon, well, if we believe Sir De Plume:

If the heat of the powerbook was enough to melt the aluminum, i think we'd all be worried about warped 12" 's first, and our powerbooks second.
