guys i have a Studio 1555 which is about a year and 1/2 old now and it has been insanely hot recently.
it even went off a couple of times during usage due to overheating(i'm using cooler master pad)... is this a common problem? I'm guessing there's alot of dust build up inside. Are there shops that would clean the insides? |

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Nov 24 2010, 03:41 PM) No more warranty ? nope, i didnt get an extended warranty so mine was only for the 1st year.. QUOTE(kizwan @ Nov 24 2010, 03:56 PM) It is normal for notebook that old to overheat because of the dust. It also common problem for Dell Studio. Did you monitor the temperature before it went off? What is the temperature? You can clean it yourself & save the money. You can go to any repair shop @ lowyat & they will clean it up for you. If I were you, I'll do it myself. You don't have to open it, although opening the casing & clean the inside directly will give better result. Instead you can use blower (or whatever name it is) to blow the dust. how to open up the laptop? Its easy with desktops, but I never knew how to open up a laptop.. the back only allows access to ram/hd/network cards..etc.time to youtube lol |
