I have noticed recently (on a trip to dry Arizona) that if my iBook2
gets a static shock, the fan turns on and won't turn off. It's rather
annoying. Is there any way to turn the fan off when this happens?

Not that I know... except maybe putting it to sleep & waking it up

I had already tried that and it didn't work :-(. Is there any way to
get this information from Apple?

I wonder if you don't have a loose / exposed wire or something :) Does
the fan stay on during sleep?

The fan shuts off during sleep, but comes right back on when you wake
it. I suppose it could be a loose wire, perhaps an ungrounded
temperature sensor, hard to say.
