Laptop: Opening The Case ?
Hi,
Have always had a desktop; know nothing re laptops.
Family member (per previous Post) has a 5 yr old Dell Laptop.
Haven't had access to it yet, and when I do will try out the temp. monitoring program that was suggested.
Laptop shuts down every 5 minutes or so of use.
Likely that it is overheating., possibly the fan has given up.
Question: On laptops, in general, is it possible, or practical, to open the case to inspect the fan, clean out grime, etc. Big job ? Caveats ?
Or, are they generally sealed to prevent this ?
Thanks,
Bob
