    I have a DELL XPS M1210

    Intel Centrino Duo T7200 @ 2.00 GHz
    2 GB Ram
    GeForce Go 7400

    So, i have the laptop since a bit more than a year ago and the heating problem has been bothering me ever since i bought it. I know laptops get a bit warm, but mine gets to the point that it heats up so much that i cant touch the surface of it! I reformatted, cleaned, kept it on a hard surface, basically everything and still nothing, the only way i can use it is with a fan-pad below it, but i got tired of that, it makes my laptop double the size.

    Any suggestions?

    X2P, is it easy to put in myself? and how much can those cost?

    Lucanesti, no words, how about everyone else just give him an applause.
