i just blwe on my laptop fan and a whole load of dust gust proofed out and it is satrting to cool down now THANXXX A MILLL

@OmegaDude22 Exhaust all manner of company service before attempting case openings, but plenty of people document doing things themselves. so the whole idea of NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE is bunk, I never understood any scare tactic to keep people from removing product screws. There are too many screws anyway, and support that is an insult!!!

@randomsha5211 I use wet paper towel and DO OPEN the casing, as dust collects on flat surfaces inside, as well, the fan blades covered in dust over time!

A friend of mine works on computers, he swears Sony Vaios are badly designed for heat control, and another person I conferred with in a store said Sony uses cheap parts that are unreliable. Sadly, Sony is GOOD with other things, but not this VAIO series of computers. Mine was bought used, and I wanted to maintain use of it, but I have to consider Dell over Sony, which works extensively well, as has my newer dual core Acer, which does not over heat.

lovely laptop – horrible fan.
sony says that they’ll extend warranty for 48 months to fix any faulty fans cos the problems so rife. for models VGN-CS1xx, VGN-CS2xx, VGN-CS3xx
VGN-BZ5xx

visit their website i guess
hope this helps

that was helpfull …but he speaks to his last breath!

Well, now we all know that there’s an inherent problem with the Vaio notebook. It does run hot and a firmware update has been released in an attempt to fix it. 6-30-2010 nyte_shade

What did he mean with the air compresure like blow it out without opening it like pointing at the vents or opening it and doing that Help!?!?!?

same problem

@EddieLolz3r my sony vaio does the SAME thing in class. its fuckin embarassing to be listening to lecture when all the other kidz imacs are quiet as fuck.

Ive sent my hp pavilion dv6 in because the fan made more noise then a airplane, it was fucking embarrassing while i was a school

l Love my Vaio FW11, best laptop i’ve had. – For laptop user reviews in one place – laptop-answers,net/

I actually had it break down once due to overheating. After a while it started getting hot again and this time I took matters in my own hands and opened it up. All it was was a dust ‘screen’ clogging up the heatpipe. Ran like a charm afterwards but my warrantee is out the window.
I was really impressed btw by how the laptop was constructed, very good quality.

My laptop fan make kinda funny voice when i turn it on but after a while it goes back to to normal sound. but still kinda heat up pretty fast, infact its pretty hot too. is tat mean i have to replace the fan? ive got the cooler pad thing but doesnt seems to work well on my ASUS F3Sc

Hello sir,

Yes my dell inspiron 1525 laptop has now died… RIP well not quite it’s kind of in a coma fans wont come on and its heating up… is there ANY possiblility that if I open this up and clean the fan out will it function again?

Or IS IT DEFINATE that I need to replace the fan?

Please reply anyone.
Epic sad face.

Hi there, i have an Acer laptop 290, and my laptops sometimes turns off automatically. I had an idea this could be due to overheating, and really wanted to know why this is happening. However, if you can reply back kindfully on what i can do to fix this.
