Answer to: Fans run at 6000 rpm, CPU is cooled, but never slowdowns fan.
it actually could be broken temp sensor... it gives wrong readings, so system just speeds up the fan. also, are you sure, the fan is working properly? i know, it spins, but it could have the sensor for RPM wrong. check the speed of fans against the FanControl... also, you might want to consider reinstalling your system. i once have done very quick reinstall, using hard drive from different macbook. worked for me, don't see the reason, why it wouldn't work for you... also, check the grills, it might me clogged... -

Answer to: Is it possible to build an Ipad out of parts from online?
and the best bit is, apple would not repair it, if something goes wrong... i was going to buy one with cracked screen. i first was told by apple care "just bring it in, and we will fix it for you". then i have dug a bit deeper and have asked another apple care professional, if it really is replaceable in apple stores, he said to me, i would be turned away... i am not going to do anymore business with apple anymore. this iPhone is also the last one... the way they make things is simply not good enough for me. if glass can be shattered so easily, why the $&@$ no one makes it out of plastic? i know, i am barking at the wrong tree...
