Assuming the remaining hardware is good, have you done resets on the SMC and
PRAM for your model? Certainly the former is likely to help with fan problems.
You should be able to disconnect all power to the machine, wait a few moments,
then reconnect it.

So could it explode? Just be careful when using it and if you can use the
machine without the battery then that would be preferable.

I wonder whether your battery is causing overheating. I had this issue on my
old Macbook pro similar age as yours, and at that time a search on the internet
revealed that the likely cause was the age of the battery. I had to change it
and things had improved. Just a suggestion.

ok. well, I haven't installed El Capitan here as yet (not sure my 2007 vintage
whitebook would even allow it to install). THere are one or 2 other issues I
have been having on this white book of mine (some random crashes of voiceover,

Hi!
MacPaw actually has an offering called CleanMyPC, which has no relation to the
tuneup utility BitDefender provides. If it has, I'm not aware of it, since it
is vastly different and only included with other products and neither company
has given credit to each other.

hmmm. ok. that I can accept. I do a lot of my own manual cleaning anyway. I
also use onyx to clean up some system stuff that I, as the user, may miss. so
far, its kept me from having really bad days on this mac. There are some
things, though, that are a bit frustrating:

In this case it’s actually legit and the name is merely unfortunately similar
to the dubious Windows program.
I still wouldn’t use it, though. Here’s as good an explanation as any of why
Macs really, really don’t and shouldn’t need “cleaning”:

"Clean my mac" sounds a lot like "Clean my PC" (a bit defender offering).
honestly, I am not sure it can be trusted given the apparent close association
(coincidence?) between the names.

Hi!
Have you actually grabbed the new version? :)
That used to be the issue on older versions that didn't have compatibility with
El Capitan. You'll want to visit their website
http://macpaw.com/cleanmymac
and grab it there.
