A Sad Reality

Turned on my laptop and it worked fine .....for awhile. Then it heated up REAL bad. Scared me so I turned it off. I am on it again but it is heating up. I know my grandson doesn't know that much about computers so I am hopeful it will last a while. I can't really afford to get a new one right now. I have to get another found in a few months too. Ugh! I will try to use my phone as much as I can, but I hate trying to type long posts with it or do work on some websites on it. We'll see what happens as the heat goes down in my room. I am keeping the A/C on while I use and that seems to help. My next purchase will be a nice one with a lot of storage this time. I hope this one will last me a while yet.

The fan?
It's maybe needing replaced.
In the meantime if you could use it and put it on a cooling pad that would help
Or have a cold air fan on beside it
Maybe just needs a good clean , maybe the fan is blocked and stuck

Probably. If I run the A/C while using it all is well.

I hope the heat goes away. I need to buy a new laptop in the next year or so.

I hope so too. It's in the 90s and I have the A/C on quite a bit. It's like a oven if I don't.

I sit in front of a fan working on my laptop and the fan blows on me and the laptop
