Why your laptop gets hot; the solution!!

WHY YOUR LAPTOP GETS HOT; THE SOLUTION!!!

    Many a times, our laptops gets abnormally hot when we feel the temperature towards the bottom-side of the laptop, this gives some people so much headache, some others just ignore it. Most people end up finding solutions that are inefficient for correcting or cooling down the hot laptop, while only a few finds the lasting and efficient solution.

    My work with computers over the years have made me to know that the killer of many of our laptops/ devices in this hot part of the world is overheating of these devices, so, by popular demand, I'm gonna take time out to explain the whole laptop overheating stuff.
    Let me first of all point out that it is normal for your laptop to heat-up slightly; just a bit above the room's temperature, you should not feel hurt when you place your hand on this heated part of your laptop for a long time, but some laptop's heated area can boil water, they get so hot that u can hardly place your hand on their heated side for 5 seconds: that is abnormal heating.

   

Why should laptops get heated-up in the very first instance?

     Hmmmmm!, good question; Components like the CPU, graphics card, etc. emits heat when the laptop is turned on. AMD laptops tend to emit more heat than INTEL laptops, also INTEL laptops with ATI or NVIDIA graphics card emits relatively more heat.

    How is a laptop designed to get rid of this heat?

     Like the saying: “the white man that made the pencil also made the eraser” similarly, A set of heat-sinks, fins and fans that help conduct and blow the heat away from the laptop’s body is put in place, this is why when u place your hand close to the window-like opening of your laptop, you feel hot air blowing out of it.

      Why then does your laptop still get abnormally hot during usage?

     Here comes the real question. Our laptop gets exposed to the environment which most time has dust particles, these dust particles find their way into the laptop; they then either clog the fan and stop it from rotating or block the airways and prevent hot air from getting out of the laptop. All these things lead to accumulation of heat in the laptop, thereby causing an abnormal increase in its temperature. These abnormal high temperature if not stopped can damage the laptop motherboard or some components in the laptop.

      Symptoms of an overheating laptop!

·         The laptop switches off without notice.

·         The laptop gets abnormally hot.

·         The laptop freezes or hangs after being in use for a while.

·         The laptop comes up with a blue screen error.

·         The laptop comes up with an overheating message.

     The solution!

       Hmmmmm, this is the point where technicians differ, some believe that using a vacuum pump to force air through the closed vents will solve this problem, yes, it will solve it temporarily, this is because the so called dust is blown back into the laptop, and since these dust is still within the laptop’s body, it is easier for the dust to go back and block the vents within a short period of time, sometimes within 2 or 3 days. This method is also harmful because the force of the air from the pump tends to spoil the fan. This method is not advisable because; It is not effective and it tends to damage the laptop.

      The effective and best solution to an overheating laptop is to open the laptop completely and remove all the dust in the laptop using a light brush, also the fan should be opened and all dirt and dusts removed.  Yes I know; that might be a freaky thing to do, you might wanna get the help of a technician!
