Ok Time For An Update......

My laptop is hummung along all happy....i have had this laptop for almost 2 years...so far i have had no trouble with it since i bought it.i have been warned by other geeks and online reviews that this laptop has had a alot of problems like hard drive failure,screen failures and case fractures do to extensive overheating.

But for some reason even after all the warnings and bad reviews i bought the last one Best Buy had in stock,even the salesperson warned me not to buy it(who knew a under educated,pimple faced moron would know about it,lol).

But lately,one of the problems has been overheating,blowing compressed air through the fan and heat tube fins solved the problem for a short while,but it came right back,so this week i went to the Source and bought a tube of heat sink compund,its not as good as Artic Silver,but it does its job.

I cleaned up the old compound with alcohol,and smeared a few dobs of compound on the cpu,being careful not to get any on the bridges surrounding the core,put everything back together and booted up,so far she is running happily along.

I still dont understand why people freak out when it comes to doing something this simple,must be just me...LOL
