iMac 24″ Condensation Problem

By admin | December 29, 2009

I recently got back from a trip down south and ran out the door leaving the Mac on sleep mode.

After using it for 20mins i noticed condensation covering about 25% or so of the glass screen in the bottom right.

The weather was very humid as this area just had 4 days of rain and the air conditioner was not running.

I used a hair dryer on cool mode in the vents at the rear of the Mac and turned the air conditioner on. The machine had about 15 apps open and was running pretty hot.

Once the humidity came down a bit it took about 45 mins for the condensation to disappear in full.

I read the Apple Support forum on it and others have had the same issue and leaving the unit on for a few hours will fix the problem.

I assume running your machine day to day it wouldn’t occur too often.
