I recently updated an aging Icebook to 10.3.9. Since then, it's been
plagued by the dread Frozen Cursor, which locks up the whole machine,
and can only be 'cured' (temporarily) by a forced restart. Which is a
pain.
Here's a nice tutorial at Macfixit: <http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20050316074920914>
I've tried most of their suggestions, to no avail. Also tried
reset-nvram on an Open Firmware startup, suggested somewhere else online.
The machine was fine before the software upgrade (or at least didn't
have this problem). Any ideas, guys? It's locking up every 2-3 days,
which is a real PITA!
Thanks in advance --

Did the 10.3.9 update change the speed of the fans which could lead to overheating?
Can you tell if the fans are running at all?
Maybe some of the tools at the site below can help?
