It's not just MSI - I recently managed to put a Dell Latitude D820 into i= ts bag while still running, where it babbled to itself running on the warm side = for several hours. When I finally did get it out, it *was* quite hot to the = touch, but I was amazed that it managed to run the battery down to somewhere und= er 4% (which took some 4 or 5 hours) and then throw the thermal check that made= it shut down - quite the coincidence indeed. However, =22ran warm but tolerable and then used the thermal to shut down= when the battery failed=22 matches the symptoms much better.... --==_Exmh_1176059397_28267P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFGGT4FcC3lWbTT17ARAhUrAJwJSoCK3homnoc3dhaKTZh0mIVC5ACeIvXr TMz47x5h/nNyv5nuuUXZFYM= =NvHm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1176059397_28267P--
