Does the heat damage the laptop?
Hi,
I'm using Dell laptop studio 1558 and found out the fan is makes the sound so loud, sometime it's loud, sometime it doesn't have even the sound. I'm confuse how comes. So I touched under the laptop and it's hot! So will this makes the hardware get damaged? and how could I fix it?
Thank you

I don't why it overheats, but it is common with Dell Laptops. The cooling system or fan is not sufficient. It seems that because the laptop is not elevated with legs, the fan gets blocked while laying flat. You should buy a laptop cooling pad. It is like a laptop table with fans. I had a one fan Belkin brand but it stopped working after a few months. It did not have an on/off switch. My newest cooling pad is a Targus Chill HUB XC, it has two fans and four USB ports and an on/off switch. It plugs into the laptop's USB port and runs while the laptop is on. It works much better than the Belkin. I no longer have problems with the laptop overheating. You can buy one at Best Buy.
