• iMac getting very hot upstairs

  Hi all

  My iMac 27 "mid-2011, processor 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 20 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 memory gets very hot at the top.

  Ive tried the latest version of fan control MSC but who never opens a reason any?

  Anyone who could help I would be very grateful. Probably just me worrying a lot.

  Thanks to all in advance

  Without the specifics of the temperature, it is impossible to tell if you have a problem. This vintage iMac have the exhaust port in the upper left corner, so it's natural for them to run hot. Unless you are having problems removing the fan control software that can cause more damage than good if not used properly.

• Computer to get very hot when you sit on your knees

  I have a laptop that I had received that had Windows XP but I got a free Cd of Vista to install and we have installed. Know that it works fine, but it gets really hot when you have it on your lap. Y at - it something I can do to cool.

  Overheating can cause sudden stops of your machine.

  As this is a portable computer, you must make sure that the vents are regularly cleaned of dust, etc..

  You may need to get a Tech to open upwards and clean on the inside.

  Also make sure that the laptop is in a well ventilated area, not used on the bedspreads, blankets, etc.

  You can buy cans of compressed air to clean computers at most computer stores.

  And make sure that the fans are working properly.

  See you soon.

  the computer starts fine in the heat when I play a game and after it stops completely, and I need to let it cool a little before you can start again.
  What do you think is the problem?

  It is not easy to say with certainty what the problem is, but for you, it's portable clean.
  Maybe there's a lot of dust inside and dirt block cooling rack.

  When the laptop cannot be cooled correctly the material temperature reached the critical level very quickly and portable will switch down without any warning or message.

• IPhone 6 display Cracked (?), turn on / make a comeback, gets very hot when load

  Hello

  Last night I dropped my phone pretty bad and he has apparently been broken. There is no physical cracks that I see on the glass, but the screen itself is cracked, and as soon as it happened, there were colors and lines going on everywhere. Finally she totally disappeared in the dark, but now not turn on or make any comments to indicate that something does not work. In desperation, I tried to connect to see what who would do, but he doesn't do become abnormally hot.

  Anyone think they know what the issue is here? I plan on it taking a Genius Bar tonight or tomorrow, but I'm afraid that it is not as simple as just a screen shot...

  Yes, drop the phone must have damaged some parts more inside the unit. But by getting only the phone tested on the Apple Store you will get more details on the repair options.

• Satellite A300D - fan turns very hard and the laptop gets very hot

  I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as what to do with the overheating problem that I currently have with my A300D. I had the laptop for less than a year, it is still under warranty but I don't know where to go or what to do to fix it.

  The problem: about two months ago, I noticed the fan turns very hard and also the laptop gets very hot. Now it runs so hot the laptop shuts down completely. The heat being driven out of the laptop is so hot! burn your my infact.

  Anyone has any advice they could offer me.

  Thank you
  James

  Hi James

  You wrote that you have the laptop less than a year, so my question is this is already cleaned it?
  The laptop needs to be cleaned every 3-4 months and I do this every 3 months. Whenever I do I m wondering how much dust out and after this procedure the portable is a lot cooler.

  Here's an interesting article from Toshiba on this subject:

  Compressed air spray is really useful and you should check it out yourself! ;)

• Satellite Pro A60 had been getting very hot

  My Satellite Pro A60 had been getting very hot (especially on the upper right corner).

  I also noticed for several months that the fan never stops and it very is nosiy.

  Is this normal?

  Thanks for any help you can provide :)

  Hi Jay,.

  Continuous fan activity high speed could well indicate that the dust blocks the heat sink. Try to blow through the exit gates to clear any dust or otherwise try to use a hose of household vacuum on the suction air grids.

  Your laptop will have a thermal trigger installed to cut the current if the temperature becomes too high to avoid any damage.

  Finally, make sure your laptop is enough space adjacent to the air intakes for the ventilation of air to enter.

  Kind regards

• My Satellite L350-171 gets very hot

  My Satellite L350-171 gets very hot and then stops spontaneously. When I pass it back on I can get the message that he has not closed properly and I want to boot into SafeMode etc.

  Does anyone else have this problem / solution?

  Solution?
  This isn't the latest model cell phone, so I assume it's pretty full of dust that blocked cooling grill and the cooling fan. In my opinion, you should clean it up to cooling system of free brand of SCT. After this laptop will be able to take a new breath and material can be cooled correctly.

  How to do this? On the internet you can find many pages and short films how to do this using compressed air. Google around a bit.

  Second option is professional cleaning. In this laptop case will be disassembled and cleaned cooling system. Of course, it is the best solution but must be done by authorized personnel only. Contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask how much it costs. It is perhaps not so expensive.

• iPhone 5 s, iOS 9.3.4 is very HOT when it is used with CARPLAY?

  iPhone 5 s, iOS 9.3.4 is very HOT when it is used with CARPLAY?

  Attempt to use iPhone 5s in 2016 GMC Sierra.

  The iPhone apps seem to work, but the phone gets very HOT.

  Same iPhone and GMC using only BlueTooth (not CARPLAY) works and is cool.

  Any suggestions?

  I have read reports on older iPhones running hot because of the processor being exceeded. Might be better if you checked him into an Apple store to be on the safe side.

• NB550D gets very hot

  The lower left part of my NB550D becomes VERY hot, even when the rest if my netbook is cool.

  I was wondering which component is this area and if I could just disconnect. I wouldn't mind losing the USB capacity or the headphone jack (which are found here on the outside).
  Opens the main part of the case as simple as removing all the screws?

  Thank you

  > The bottom left of my NB550D becomes VERY hot, even when the rest if my netbook is cool.

  This is not unusual since modules cooling and cooling grids and also the CPU are placed to the left
  Do not remove any screws or any other part because is not necessary and most probably you would damage the laptop.

• R60 AC adapter get VERY hot

  I just noticed recently; the power adapter supplied with my R60 becomes very hot while it is plugged. It requires always the laptop without problem, but I am very concerned about the heat. This is the part number 92 p 1156 (FRU #92 P 1155), and I bought the laptop in October 2006. Any ideas?

  It should be OK, he would not fail. You probably use your laptop with some GPU and CPU intensive programs.
