Re: my compaq laptop is gettin heated....
Check your service manual and find out what device is located in that area. If it is the battery try to remove it while on AC. Also start cleaning the vents./heatsink/fan areas. This helps get rid of dust and other unwanted materials that clogged the air flow.

Re: my compaq laptop is gettin heated....
After cleaning any dust out of your PC, consider getting a chill mat or angled stand.
Also, make sure you don't cover any of the vents. While it's called a "laptop" you really shouldn't set it on anything soft, including your lap. Every laptop I've seen has intake vents on the bottom, and setting the unit on anything soft will block these vents.
