Why does my iBook smell funny?

Question

About a year ago, I noticed my roommate's old iBook smelled really bad, like B.O. It was so strong you could tell as soon as it was open.

Now, I'm noticing the same smell starting to come from mine! It's so nasty - kinda like melting plastic, only also like B.O. My iBook is about 6 years old. Anyone else with this problem?

Answer 1

I would guess the fan is getting full of dust & other gunk, so maybe its:-
1) over heating & 2) "kinda like melting plastic" ... :-) :-)
