And finally
I'm in the realm of gadgets. Not the kind where you go "ohh" and "ahh" after something nifty shows up on tv. No. I should have been born a techno guru, except I suck at physics, but I love inventing things.
Here's the thing. I opened up my laptop again this time and discovered the second fan. Technically, I knew there was a second one. It was just hiding from me. The keyboard knew I would mess with it, so it hid it. So, after a delightful google search, I dismantled much of my laptop, but I was still too much of a coward to remove the fans. I just cleaned them a bit, accidently dropped and rescued some screws, and my laptop still overheats!
Today I did some more problem-solving. Now my laptop is elevated off the desk courtesy of four lovely bottle tops. The temperature reading is still climbing. I'm going to have to cough up a cooling fan, and this upsets me because I've spent days unable to fix this myself. Grr argh.
