Troubles fixing a laptop.

my vaio has cooling vents but not fans on the bottom,... the cpu is in the far left corner with a fan positioned behind the heat sink on the back it ***** the air and blows out the side

Idk, i figured it wasn't a very good idea to stick it on the bottom where there isn't much airflow. The fan has a chute on it that blows air through the fans on the heatsink, the dust was in between the heatsink and fan.

it does not take long at all for dust to build up in those heat sinks and cooling fins. The worst is if you have animals that shed a lot
Ran since 2000 without being cleaned, surprised it lasted as long as it did.

thats dell for you
I could care less since it was free. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

But our older OptiPlex has been running great since 2001 pretty much constantly with zero hardware issues.
