Is it a TiBook, too?
No, not a TiBook. I have September 2003 12-inch "1GHz Mini-DVI USB 2.0"; M9007LL/A; PowerBook6,2; EMC# 1986; A1010.

I will add: the temperature and speed (tachometer) sensors seem do work correctly (temperature rises with load, falls with idle, reported fan speed changes while I intentionally slow or stop fan spinning). Apple Hardware Test reports logic board okay, no problems found. No, thermal interface paste is not a problem. Fan in my specimen is simply driven at top speed. I do not know how fan control is achieved in this model, whether by PWM or potential (voltage) regulator or other; I guess, the governor / controller / regulator is kaput.
