Troubleshooting

Is the Notebook Overheating?

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.
If you suspect that overheating could be causing the problem,
allow the notebook to cool to room temperature. Then be sure
to keep all vents free from obstructions while you are using the
notebook.
Vent locations are identified in your printed startup booklet
and in the Hardware and Software Guide, which is located on the
Notebook Documentation CD.
