Laptops used as Desktops
bloody000:
If you put a laptop on four D-cells it will be much cooler than on a flat desk. works better than many cooling pads.

You would of think thats common sense but my ex girlfriend fried her dell because she left it on her bed and fell asleep. (the laptop ended up under the covers...) She came up to me and ask me to fix it. I took out the HDD and ram. Then I threw the laptop in the garbage and told her you need to buy a new one. She didn't like my answer

oh! i wish shipping was free or i`d take that junk instead, i could salvage the screen and the touchpad, plus i could pretty much salvage the components on the motherboard too.

Don't they auto-shutoff at some point?
As an experiment to make my noisy macbook quieter, I disconnected/removed the fan.
Needless to say, that was really stupid. Processor hit 110c and it auto shut off.

At 110c the processor could have melted so that kind of auto-shutdown is kinda useless. You just got lucky you did not melt it is all.

LOL! solders melt at 200+c how could solid alloy melt at 110c, theres nothing plastic on the processor either. some IC(specially the ones used on amplifiers) can handle up to 145c working temperatures.
