laptop cooling system
-
been encoutnering cooling sytem problem the last few days....
think the fan inside my laptop cannot make it liao...
apart from bringing it back to toshiba for servicing, is there anything else i can do?? like getting waht auxillary fan or wahtever it's called help?? -
first identify where is the fan inlet and outlet of the laptop is.
if it goes in from the bottom and comes out the back,there is this device that will set you back $32, which is the last i saw at SLS.
its sold in one of the shops on the higher floors.
its a base that has 2 built in fans that give it forced cooling.
you might want to give it a try.

the inlet should be at the bottom like most laptops and its circular in shape.Originally posted by coolger03:oh, thanks... i only know where's the outlet... dunno where's the inlet....

can get what i'm using now.. a little "platform" which is powered by the USB thingy...
has 3 fans on the platform to cool the laptop..
bought it at Funan... -
orh... how much and any brand or not har??Originally posted by the Bear:can get what i'm using now.. a little "platform" which is powered by the USB thingy...

no brand one.. about $25 i think...
it's basically a flat piece of plastic with fans attached to it, with a few rubber knobs to raise your notebook to get some space so air can circulate...
not too bad but not that good either... but served me well

not all laptop model have tis.. mostly i believe only have an outlet.. cos it is extracting hot air from within the laptop..Originally posted by ninja^cru:the inlet should be at the bottom like most laptops and its circular in shape. -

the air must go in, but does it necessary have to be a dedicated inlet duct??Originally posted by ninja^cru:for air to come out,air must go in,

there are many many means for air to get into the laptop.. look at the keypad area.. not enuf air inlet ducts?? -
n pls hor.. this is laptop... laptop's cdrom n floppy normally are encapsulated in a casing type.. whether is it modular or embedded.. so where will ur cdrom n floppy get dusty?Originally posted by ninja^cru:for air to come out,air must go in,

not all laptops are designed to have air coming thru little ducts. -
sad to say.. mostly are.. they seldom come wif a special inlet and outlet for air circulation... everything is already too compact inside..Originally posted by ninja^cru:prefer to have one,otherwise keyboard will be dusty also,
