Is The Notebook Overheated; Is The System Unresponsive - HP Compaq NC6110 Getting Started Manual

Troubleshooting

Is the Notebook Overheated?

It is normal for the notebook to feel warm to the touch while it is in use.
But if the notebook feels extremely warm, it may be overheating because
a vent is blocked. Overheating can cause the notebook to become
unresponsive. Vents are on the rear panel and left side of the notebook.
If you suspect that overheating could be causing the problem, allow the
notebook to cool to room temperature. Then:
Use the notebook on a hard surface, not on a soft surface. A
rug, pillow, or thick clothing could block the underside vent.
Be sure that the rear panel and left side vents are not blocked
by hard surfaces, such as an adjoining optional printer, or by
fabrics such as bedding or thick or loose clothing.
