Yeah, I had seen that but balked a such a radical step. Upon researching the issue found this;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerBook_G4
and this software fix;

(which is also a bit intimidating for a novice)
and this;

which i have now done.
it is now running on power adapter with battery installed; we shall see.

I still have a question about the fans.

istat shows that the fans are not running,

does anyone know the parameters, what temps, kick the fans on ?

is there a way to test the fans to see if they are in fact functional ?

thanks for the reply.

QUESTION:

Had +*Fan Control+* installed (the system preferences) for about 6 months. Over the last week I have found that the usual areas that were hot before I installed the software have recently gotten hotter. I have also found that the temperature is not reducing no matter what settings I have set in the programme.

Can some one help with this.
