    I had my W3N for 9 months. Lately the machine gets so hot that it's uncomfortable to even type, the keyboard is like a "Hot Pan" sometimes
    Does anyone have any idea to deal with this?
    Shoud I clean the dirt out the CPU Fan?

    Clean the dirt out? Why would you do that?! :p

    Seriously, it's a good good good idea to clean your notebooks ventilation. Canned air works wonders, but you may have to open it up and do a little scraping/brushing, depending on how gunky the guts are.

    Yea, dirt, dust and such will cause that, take out the bottom panel and, with a can of compressed air, blow out the dust(make sure you're outside!). Then put everything back and see if it has been resolved.

    If it hasn't, you may also need to take out the keyboard and clean that area, as well as open up the back again and physically see if there is anythng stuck in the fans, etc.
