So, a mere 5 days after running my new MacBook Pro, I got to work today and booted the computer from a shutdown state. I was greeted with fans running continuously, at full speed. I thought it was strange, so I restarted while resetting the PRAM. No effect. Next, I reset the Power Manager using these instructions:<\/p>\n
1. Shutdown MacBook Pro.
\n2. Remove power and battery.
\n3. Hold power button for 5 seconds.
\n4. Insert battery and power and turn MacBook Pro back on.<\/p>\n
Everything is peachy again, but a little concerning…<\/p>\n
Also, before the fans ran continuously, my trackpad was exhibiting strange behavior. There was a one second or more delay when I attempted to use the trackpad after using the keyboard. By fixing the Power Manager, it appears the trackpad issue has gone away as well.<\/p>\n
Possibly related side note… I did bike to work today with my MacBook strapped to my back. I had it in a backpack inside 2 jackets that covered my upper body. The temp outside was 35 degrees. After arriving at work, the MacBook felt like room temperature, so I don’t think I exposed it to any severe conditions.<\/p>\n
Stay tuned…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
