Wow, sorry to hear about the accident; hope you and you're are doing well now!  I'll dig around and see if I can find specific info you're looking for.

Hi,
I'm back alive and kickin', thanks.
I found how to reset the SMC on my unruly  2,5 year old on a site called eHow, not sure about the exect URL but Google search "eHow" and you'll get to it.

The following might be useful for other MBP users in the same boat as I;

Turn off your computer.

Press and hold down the power button for 5 seconds and then release the button.

Replace battery and connect computer to AC adaptor.

This has worked for my machine

Best wishes

Rob - Enquiring minds (nosy buggers) want to know how this worked out for you?

Hi,

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I've spent the last couple of weeks in hospital following a car crash.

The article covers MBP late 08 and early 09, ibooks and powerbooks.
As mine is an early 2007 model I don't really know what to.

Anyway thanks for your suggestion

Rob

Hi,

Can anyone tell me what to do to reset whatever I have to reset to stop my 2.16 DC2 15" from staying hot whilst asleep?
I know that there is something you can do to rectify this problem, some key combination or something.

I really appreciate suggestions

Rob
