    I need advise on choosing a proper cooler for this old laptop.

    Here is an image for the back

    As you can see, this old laptop uses the old design, with two fans supporting in the back.
    I haven't check what exactly is behind the fan, probably the CPU since I believe HDD is on the other side.
    Battery is right below the fans and I always take it off since I only use it for outdoor. I powered my laptop directly with my powercord.

    My range is anything below $30, as cheap as possible.
    Overall, I want to keep it low. A bit level up is fine.

    Any suggestion??

    Thanks

    Take a look at the NZXT Cryo LX. It's one of the most popular coolers on this board.

    OP: I recommend you look at the NZXT Cryo LX or S. Not for the reason of its "popularity" etc. It is as your fans are in the back part of your notebook and the cooling surface of the both NZXT coolers is located in the region.

    The S is meant for a 15.4" notebook and smaller, and the LX is meant for a 17" notebook and smaller.
