If this is satisfactory for whatever you were trying to accomplish, you can certainly stick to that. You can also dump your ASL (see instructions in the Handbook) and post it somewhere, i can grab it from. I could not promise you a fix, but if this is something easy like BIOS writer forgetting to multiply value by 10 or adding 2733 to it, you should be able to have normal thermal management. --- Alexandre Kovalenko. -------------------------------------------------------------- Ovi Mail: Being used in over 200 countries http://mail.ovi.com
