    of course the fan is running constantly, all CPU fans on any desktop and laptop run constantly. if the CPU fan stops your CPU will fry in a matter of minutes.

    the fan is pretty quiet and the laptop actually stays pretty cool

    Notebook fans do not neccessarily to run constantly. My M1210 (T7200) fan runs only when CPU reaches 38C or above. My 640M (T2080) nearly does not run at all.

    I don't think there's a way to fix it. It's just a pixel that is stuck not techincally dead.

    guys wondering about their fans constantly running....

    common sense.. if the fan is running, put your hands there ... if it is hot air blowing out, apparently the fan should be to pull that hot air out!

    Cooler it runs the longer it last...
