Laptop cooling pads? ironclad Send a noteboard - 07/06/2010 09:47:02 PM
So what makes a laptop get hotter and noisier over the years? Is it just mileage (20 months in this case) or all the crap that's on it? In other words, can some "file cleaning" help? How exactly?
Or is this automatically a sign that the notebook has a problem with its fan? It did not shut down because of heat yet, mind you. In the current (weather-caused) heat wave it did almost burn my knees, though. When I closed a rather demanding program like Skype it calmed down a litte.

Now, a comp-illiterate friend recommended cooling pads, see German link below. Are those any good, helpful or necessary? They're not cheap, at least.

Any ideas? :)

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

Did you buy an extended warranty? - 07/06/2010 11:16:05 PM 485 Views
Nope, but I think it was 2 years anyway... - 07/06/2010 11:19:04 PM 436 Views

I recently sent my Mini in for service under warranty - 08/06/2010 03:54:02 AM 483 Views
I hate Mini's. They're the worst units to work on. - 08/06/2010 11:40:35 PM 479 Views
It is indeed. - 08/06/2010 02:01:26 PM 503 Views
That is dependent on local laws for warranties... - 07/06/2010 11:29:43 PM 485 Views
Get a can of compressed air and blow the dust out of the fan. - 07/06/2010 11:02:19 PM 557 Views
There is no decent way to say this... - 07/06/2010 11:27:46 PM 533 Views
