LAPTOP VERY HOT

I bought a Compaq Presario laptop 10/01/2010.

After using for a few I noticed it was really hot if used more than 20 minutes or more.

Short version is that it seemed to be getting more hotter and hotter and that worried me as I boughgt it uses all rest my back, in a bed or sleep with the laptop on my abdomen.

Opinions differ, but it seems that it is caused [or exacerbated] an abdominal problem, causing severe pain.

I have now reduced that pain until the use of the laptop, even using it on a table.

I managed to get a temperature of 40 c of the side wind right and under the computer within 20 minutes.

I will have an ultrasound this afternoon so can learn more.

It of a normal temperature or could there be something wrong with the phone?

I have a netbook too and they do not warm in the same way.

Look forward to your comments

Thank you

It is common for a laptop hot if you are resting it on your lap, because the air cannot escape and the fan is unable to work properly. The HP Web site has an article, Tips for the use, transport and protect your laptopwho may be able to shed more light on this issue. In addition, a video, the details in the article include:

"Do not use the laptop on your lap or leave its hot surfaces to directly contact your skin. If you want to use it on your lap, put it on a flat, hard surface such as a specially designed for notebook computers lap tray.

Do not use the laptop on a soft surface, such as down comforters bed, cushions and pillows, clothes or carpet. These surfaces can block the flow of air through the ventilation openings, which can cause heat build up in the case of the laptop. "

  • Bottom of laptop very hot

    I just bought a laptop computer Inspiron 15 2 in 1 7568. I noticed that after only a few minutes of web surfing down becomes warm enough and I do not hear or feel the amount of warm air pushed by the wind in the back. Just wondering if it is normal for this model? It has a core i3 6100u I know is a low-power processor. Then maybe he tolerates a higher time in passive cooling mode. I feel it get somewhat uncomfortable on my lap after some time.

    Hi Jonnythegeek,

    This is normal for notebook computers. Modern fans are quieter than in recent years. You can get a cooling block or put it on a table to use.

  • 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

    Hi mate

    Well, what to say. You will always notice a hot power adapter.
    I have two laptops at home and in both cases the AC adapters are hot. They are not hot, but hot

    It is difficult to say what temperature should be ok, but the party doesn't have to be hot.
    Because I don t know how hot your adapter is, I highly recommend contacting a local ASP (certified partner) in your country for an AC adapter control.
    The adapter needs to be replaced if necessary

    Friend of don t worry the guarantee must cover all

  • Tecra S1 becomes very hot - perhaps HDD?

    Hello together,

    my laptop gets very hot on the left hand of the touch pad,
    It seems to be the HARD drive right now it shows HDD temperature ° C / ° F 122a 50a.

    It wasn't at first when I bought the laptop.

    This problem is motivated to the cooling or the HARD drive or something else?

    What can I do?

    Best regards
    Patrick

    Hi Patrick

    Temperature of the HDD on my Tecra M1 is about 40 ° C and on Satellite M70 60 ° C. The two notebooks will run without any problems. Tecra S1 is not the latest model cell phone, and maybe, in your case, you should try to clean the laptop and remove all dust.

    Anyway, like written previous guy try checking the HARD drive. Check out this page http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools

  • Satellite Pro A100 always seems very hot

    My Satellite Pro A100 seems always very hot. I can't get on my knee for long that I get really hot. Is this a general problem or there at - it something wrong with my laptop.

    I had about 5 months, and none of my other laptops have had this problem?

    Hi Colleen

    Have you read the manual? I think that you didn t. You will find instructions how to use the device.
    It seems that you are using this laptop on your lap. That s not good and not recommended!

    First of all the fans and the fans are placed at the bottom of the unit and its necessary and important to let him free because of the traffic the air!

    Please don t compare the A100 with other portable older. New generation laptops use devices of high performance like CPU and GPU. These elements must be cooled and the circulation of fresh air is very important to work properly. So use it on the table or desk and don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop!

  • 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.

    Hello

    As you probably know Toshiba designs and publish own graphics drivers for Toshiba laptops the graphics drivers are not the same thing as the original graphic drivers of manufacturing such as nVidia or ATI graphics card!
    Graphics drivers from Toshiba are changed in order to avoid overheating of the graphics cards!

    Usually, the books don't provide any special graphics card modules but only the module cooling CPU cooling and so the laptop graphics driver controls the performance of the graphics card.

    If the temperature rises to the critical level the driver slows down the map decreases the temperature and heat production.
    Drivers Nvidia or ATI of origin don't feature such support!
    In my opinion, this is a reason why the card temperature rises to highest level!

    Attention, something like that could damage the graphics card!

  • 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.
