Laptop running hot
in Hardware ·
A fan or a heatsink—they're technically different, sure, but they’re both working toward the same goal: keeping your hardware from melting. You probably have a fan that’s struggling, likely because air can't actually reach the components. This usually happens when you park a laptop on a soft surface like a bed without a stand, which basically chokes the airflow. Most of the time, you just take it to any local repair shop, tell them the thing is overheating and needs a deep clean, and the techs there will know exactly what's up. I'm betting the issue is just $33cleaning
