Oh sure and it blows the dirt and dust where?<br>
Right back into the heat sink.<br>
Thanks for your input.<br>

Before diving into the hardware, check the BIOS version, and
what's available from HP.<br>
Some HP BIOS revisions deal with fan control and overheating
problems. Reflashing<br>
the BIOS should be easier than disassembly of the laptop,
but sadly, HP frequently supplies the new BIOS as a Windows
executable. Ask for the BIOS update from any repair shop
you choose if you can't do it yourself (If you machine still
boots Windows, it should be trivial).<br>

Hi LUGgers,<br>
It seems I have a problem with my notebook
over-heating ...<br>

Thanks Ken but the machine does not boot Windows. and I
don't want to overheat<br>
it re-installing Vista 32 Home Edition. I did BIOS updates on
it when I still had<br>
Windows installed. The machine likely as the various on line
advisers indicate<br>
has the heat sink plugged up with whatever. At the last
meeting it shutdown several<br>
times until it could not be re-started. <br>
Earlier today I had a 90+ degree Celcius reading from the
temperature <br>
monitor I had installed earlier. This is with it sitting on
the big but largely <br>
ineffective dual fan cooler.<br>
Cleaning out the Heat Sink requires complete dismantling
of the<br>
machine and while I am sure I could take it apart I am not
sure I<br>
could put it back together again in working order.<br>
Oh and the guy interested in how your Chumby works has<br>
sent me an e-mail indicating he will try to attend.<br>
