This machine runs great except customer complains it runs very hot. so what was noticable - battery reports replace soon as well as running real hot.
So i run asd and it is throwing some memory errors, but still runs fine.

i removed board and upon inspecting found that most probe points are black - very darkened? what causes this? they are not corroded - as soon as i scratch they come up super shiny. Also there is a rubber sticker on u8900. is this something apple places to fix there crappy solder joints?

thanks

Did you also note it runing hot, or just the client complains that?
Run Heaven test and see is something strange happens.
Reflow/change U8900, just in case.
HWMonitor can show you temps in real time, so give it a try...
