Over heating in the sun?

[bayrea]

Took mine to the pool today.. after about 2 hours it shut down and went black. I assume it overheated. I am in Ohio and it was 85 and sunny today and i was in direct sunlight the whole time. I put it back in my bag and went home an hour later and it was back up and running. Anyone else have this problem??

Ditto. Heat is the enemy to any computer. Heat and dust.

Please report back with your findings.

Also, I'm sorry.

I left mine out in the rain all day today, and now it's really slippery...no idea what to do.

I don't think your device needs a suntan. Detach yourself and leave it in some shade. In the house.

I noticed mine got really hot today after an hour in the sun but it never shut off. I just put it in the shade and it was fine. Pity because I wanted to keep reading.

I totally agree. I once had to carry mine in the sun for 10 mins to walk into a building, and it did heat up.

Some very childish replies. You should feel good about yourselves.

To the OP: That's perfectly normal. 85 is pretty hot and if you were in direct sunlight, especially with a black backed device, it'll soak up heat. The device will obviously shut off to protect itself. Be careful with it on a hot day in direct sunlight.
