Red spiders in a Macbook..

[computerblonde]

laptop_mechanic I need you help. I have bugs in my laptop.. and I don't mean someone did bad program. I mean real itty bitty red spiders coming out the hinge/vent hole.

flasherz put the laptop in the freezer overnight 2 nights ago. The stupid buggers crawled out again today

My advice is this:

Crack the sucker open and clean it out, its the only way to be sure.

Granted, cracking open a macbook is not a fun procedure, but thats the only way you can be reasonably confident you get them all out. I can point Craig to appropriate documentation for a teardown if he needs it.

the pdf is like 20 or 30MB. Its kinda hard to email. I dont suppose you have an FTP or something open?
