Great information and can save lots of unnecessary costs, when my laptop over heated I would used my desk top pc ..but then I fried it and my technician
told me I had too many gadgets on the same power source eg: deep freeze, frig,microwave,TV,phone,printer,laptop,and some times a toaster and electric jug, they caused the fans to slow down and fry pc. I’ve installed a direct power supply and no more problems.

my sisters laptop was overheating and guessed that the fan needed cleaning. So i pop of the back of her Dell and found a large dust bunny in between the fans and the copper heat sink. She was right, it did need cleaning :)

It is a work tool. A delicate work tool. I imagine you’re using a Panasonic Toughbook though, which really doesn’t apply because they’re rock-solid.

I had one, and I would drop it in the snow as a joke. People where shocked when it worked.

HP laptops just love to overheat.

I service those day-in and day-out.

Surprisingly, older dells seem to hold up best. Go figure.

Hackers are busy people doing a difficult job. The least we can do is ruin our own computers and save them the trouble!

That’s a new one ;) Maybe take the RAM out gently using some pliers? Then buy new RAM.

Try to keep the laptop cool, don’t store the laptop in hot places, don’t let the battery fully discharge unless you absolutely have to (i.e. if you’re near a plug, use it).

Call ASUS, see what they can do for you. They don’t have the best customer service but it’s not the worst, either. It’s worth 30 minutes of your time if it gets your laptop fixed.

I currently have a Compaq by HP, the fan is okay but not great. I built a cooling stand with a USB fan pushing nice cool air into the fan in the laptop now my laptop at max load gets to 45C CPU and 53C system.
