Lenovo T61 Intolerable Heat condition

Juan,

 

You probably have one or two of the following errors:

 

1. The cooling fan of your laptop is not working and that is the reason of being  too hot. It is easy to check, just see the bottom of your laptop and you should hear the noise of the fan spinning or feel the air in your hands coming from it. What is unusual if this is the case is that the system should give you an error message. Shutting down if one of the symptoms of a failed cooling fan.

 

 

 

2. Your battery is reaching end of life. Batteries heat up more when are closing to completely fail. You can check it by touching the surface of it. The battery is also in the bottom of your laptop.

 

3. You are using your laptop with the charger connected all day. This cause the battery to heat up and could be the reason of the problem.

This problem is normal with laptops. When using your laptop, avoid placing it on top of a pillow because it will only cause more heat. You should place your laptop on a flat surface so there will be proper ventilation underneath. To work around your problem, you can use a cooling pad for your machine.

Try checking out Laptop Cooling Pad 2 Fan USB Powered on eBay. This is for 14-inch to 17-inch size laptops. It costs $15.29 with free shipping worldwide. See exclusions to check if your country is included for free shipping. Also check Mini Vacuum Air Extracting USB Cooling. It is a vacuum-like device you attach on the side of your laptop and plugs to your USB port.
