[Cialug] OT: Two hardware problems

[albus]

First off I'd take it to an air compressor with a regulator and turn the
pressure done to about 20 to 30 pounds then blow out the fan area and
the heat exchanger. It's also possible that the fan itself needs replaced.
Especially if the bearings are shot.

 

Just my 2 cents.

What would listers recommend for cooling a laptop that overheats and shuts
itself off, without warning?  My wife uses a Hewlett-Packard Pavilion dv5
laptop for a lot of her web design work.  I think the laptop is overheating
and that's causing it to shut-off.  Kathy can't use it and she's had a
problem with starting up after one of these shut-off incidents.  She took
the laptop to a local shop because something had gotten corrupted when the
laptop shut itself down.  I'm sorry but I don't have the paperwork
explaining the problem and solution.  We'd appreciate any suggestions.

 

Also, the Samsung SyncMaster monitor that she uses isn't working (It blinks
off and on) and we're wondering if anyone has a "square" flatscreen monitor
for sale?

 

Thanks.
