    I can boot my Latitude - but shortly after, it shuts down by itself. Where should I look for a solution? Thanks.

    Have you cleaned your Latitude's fan vents recently? Sounds like a heat issue.

    I thought it sounded like a heat issue also. Fan vent is clean. Are there any other vents I should look for?
