Hi sina this is john from Ubuntu kootenay Nelson in B.C did you try a portable notebook fan . they work very good and will most of the time work for most heat related problem with notebook . You may also want to make sure that the air vent on your notebook are not plug with dust. Also on some model of portable computer the air vent are under the notebook and the space sometime between the notebook and the surface is not hight enough to have good air circulation . to fix this go to the store and buy sticky furniture protector spacer . this will lift up the notebook and make more air circulation
I hope that this help you John papineau Ubuntu kootenay in Nelson b.c On Sat, 2011-03-12 at 23:26 +0330, Sina wrote: > Hi all, > I've got a HP DV2 netbook with a 1.66GHz AMD athlon neo-mv 40.
