My niece's Dell Inspiron 5100 has got a Hitachi 40 gig hd and it over heats.
Got a laptop cooler and it still runs hot 125deg's and up.
If i take a regular house fan and turn it pointing up and sit the laptop on top of the fan it will bring it down to about 118deg's.
Do I need to replace the hard drive?
She used to leave this on 24/7 without a cooler under it.
I build desktops but have never worked on a laptop, other that reinstalling her o/s and programs when it got to hot.
How hard is it to replace the hard drive in a laptop?
:sweat:
