So I finally decided to open the laptop since it was useless anyways... What I found was surprising the heat sink ( I mean the part of it which is located next to the fan ) was completly coverd with grey felt - so no wonder that the fan had no effect at all. After removing it the laptop does not overheat at all. I can put a 100% cpu load on the system (according to top) via cpuburn for more than 1h and causing lots of IO with find and dd (after that time I stopped) not causing the system to overheat. The case is a bit tricky to open and you have to start with the peace of plastic between the keyboard and the screen. After that remove the keyboard. For removing the display you have to remove the grey caps (there are no screws ). Than remove all the screws on the bottom of the laptop and the hd as well as the cdrom. No the tricky part is to open all the plastic clips holding the top and bottom part together without braking them. They are quite resistive and a (jack) knife is a good tool for that. Be carefull not to rip of the wires which connect to the speakers and the touchpad (i didn't care about the fingerprint scanner), to unplug the touchpad cable you will have to pull on the plastic on either side of the wire. This procedure takes about 30 minutes and is absolutely worth it. I will try to post a picture that you see what it looks like and if you are too scared to try. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ acpi-bugzilla mailing list acpi-bugzilla@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/acpi-bugzilla
