-- Posted by iBritt at 9:42 pm on July 22, 2008 Okay, so sometimes when I'm on my laptop, the touch pad, and the area around it gets kind of warm and hot... This means what? That I should not use it for awhile? -- Posted by RockerTori106 at 9:43 pm on July 22, 2008 I don't know. I have a laptop and that's never happened to me before. -- Posted by l3iscoMix at 9:43 pm on July 22, 2008 Let it cool down some. -- Posted by HuffleHaire at 9:44 pm on July 22, 2008 Mine did that a bit. Then the power adapter thing burned out. I'd probably let it cool down. Make sure the fan is able to fan.. aka don't sit the fan against your leg. -- Posted by hateitandloveit at 9:44 pm on July 22, 2008 Let it cool off if it's REALLY hot. Otherwise computers were meant to get warm -- Posted by Tiroth at 9:46 pm on July 22, 2008 laptops have smaller fans, so it is better to let them cool down after every couple of hours. -- Posted by Dylan6405 at 9:47 pm on July 22, 2008 you need to shut it down for a while, give it a rest. It may overhear real bad -- Posted by xidontcarex at 9:47 pm on July 22, 2008 Just let it cool down a bit. -- Posted by JuggaletteBaby at 9:49 pm on July 22, 2008 i'd shut it down and let it cool off for a while. -- Posted by monkeydoodle77 at 9:50 pm on July 22, 2008 There are fan things you can get to go under a laptop. It cools them off. I know, I'm using one right now. -- Posted by Evolutionism at 9:54 pm on July 22, 2008 Laptops usually get hot. If it gets too hot, there is probably a lot of inside your laptop. Get one of those cans of compressed air and clear out the dust.
