You get a call from a laptop customer who says that her laptop fans are running all of the time while she’s using her laptop. You investigate and discover she uses the laptop primarily late in the evening after she’s gotten ready to go to bed. What do you suspect?

A. The laptop has been on all day and has been accumulating heat.

B. She is using the laptop in bed and the sheets and blankets on the bed are blocking the laptop’s cooling vents.

C. The laptop’s cooling fans are going bad.

D. The battery is overheating.

Solution

Most probably the answer is B. She is using the laptop in bed and the sheets and blankets on the bed are blocking the laptop’s cooling vents.

Because laptops are notorious for heating up on the bottom.

This fan runs to cool the laptop.There are laptop desks

or stands that you can buy that will allow

better air flow under the laptop or even cool it with fans.

After time, a laptop accumulates dust and dirt that prevents

the fans from cooling properly.

She should take her laptop to a reputable shop to get it \"blown out\" with compressed air.

Always use your laptop on a hard, flat surface to allow proper air flow.

If your laptop is on constantly, you may want to buy an additional fan add-on for laptops,

available at BestBuy and other computer stores. It is an adapter that

attaches to the bottom of the laptop and provides better air flow and cooling.
