Hi all...

I've had my original unibody aluminium Macbook since January 2009 and recently I've noted it's been getting a lot warmer on the bottom when charging and also when I've got it hooked up to the TV via VGA streaming from iPlayer. It's not quite the oven my Sony Vaio was, but it's a bit warm on the legs at times.

Any idea what might be causing this, or what I can do to fix it? Everything is stock and I'm running OSX 10.5.8 and not having any other performance issues.

Thanks for any advice!
 
I opened her up not so long ago and couldn't really see any. I've still got another 18 months of Apple care, think it's worth getting it checked out?
