<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>I found this
laptop cooling pad at Target a while back for my wife's laptop which was having
the same problem. Basically it was this pad that the laptop sits on and
plugs into a USB port to power extra fans to help cool the laptop. I
think it was made by Belkin but I'd have to go home and look at it to be sure.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
