MacBook running to hot?
I have a late 2007 MacBook 120 gigabyte and about 2 years ago It made a horrible clicking noise at first it wasn't to bad but then it
got so bad I couldn't use my computer also my computer was so hot it was burning my legs so i stopped using it letting it sit months between uses and then the charger didn't charge the battery anymore so it's always at 0% so i cant unplug it today I installed Istat pro and after about 5 mins it showed my CPU at 175 degrees farenheit and the fan rpm at around 1700 The computer made no noise but it was burning up again so I turned it off what is wrong with my computer should I junk it?

It didn't occur to you that the grinding was the fan? It would explain why it's running so hot and why the fan rpms were so low. Not that hard to deduce. The fans are a cheap part. You should be able to get it fixed for a fair price at an Apple Store or local authorized shop. The battery is likely dead, but you can find replacement batteries on Amazon and other sites for less than $50 shipped.

It's probably endgame highlander for you. Take it in and see what the "geniuses" say (for free). Most likely you need a new laptop and they can port all your old stuff over.
or he can buy a 50 dollar warranty extension and they'll give him a brand new laptop. that's what they do with ipods atleast.
