Hi,
for approximately 20 months i have ran my laptop on high performance power setting but recently it has been dying on me. In the main it was always hot to touch underneath and sounded like a jet plane but still ran smoothly enough. I now have to constantly switch between power saving mode and HP optimized to maintain cpu temperatures but this leaves me feeling like i am walking through treacle and i was wondering if i could bounce a few possibilities to the experts on the forum?
1-Would a laptop cooler help me? it has always previously just lay on the bed next to me, i realise now that this wasn't a very bright thing to do given the heat generated between laptop and mattress.
2-I have a web page saved with a pictorial how-to on dismantling my laptop with a view to reviewing the cpu and any possible damage. Is this easy enough? It doesn't read very easy to me.
my laptop is a HP 6735s with an AMD Turon x2 dual core mobile RM-72 2.10GHz processor.
I am no expert with laptops, i have built a few desktop pc's in the past but this is all new to me,
Any advice would be great,
thanks in advance,
