Overheating issue

[Jenry]

Hey, I have this exact same problem on my wireless adapter. I will tell my bro to download that program whenever the net comes up on the lap top then i'll get back to you guys.

Okay fellas, my bro just called and he said the speed fan said the core temperature was 80. He said he aint see nothing else about fan speed etc - don't know if he got another version than the one I have on the computer I'm typing from (desktop).

So, wat can I gather from this that needs to be done to the laptop?? Any help would be appreciated!

You probably need to clean the dust out of the laptop fan, and make sure it's elevated slightly in the rear to allow better airflow through the bottom vent slots.

Thanks for the reply.

Now, the problem is, I've tried opening my laptop before but it was so hard that I just didn't bother - when I was going to open it, it felt as if things were attached so I was afraid I might have ripped apart something so I just left it - I guess HP built it so that not any and anyone can go down in it.

You can see the fan from outside and it is dusty indeed and for quite sometime too!

On the speedfan program I have on this desktop, it says it can increase fan speed. If I do that, would that help the overheating issue??

I use canned air to blow air in reverse through the exhaust slot back through the fan, then I reverse it and blow air in the intake slot to the exhaust slot.

You should not try to take the machine apart unless you know what you're doing, laptops are not like desktops, they're a lot more complicated mechanically. I think you probably already figured this out.

As far as Speedfan, laptops manage the fan speed already, no gains will be realized.

Ok, thanks a lot mate!
