    So about a week ago, my notebook's left armrest (the area to left of the touchpad) become unusually HOT even in idle mode... i tried everything from switching to Coolest mode, pull out the plug and let it run on batt. but still nothing. I have to mention that it wasnt that hot before.
    The only thing i could think of is something happened to the hard drive. Gladly it's not that.
    Finally i noticed that i had left the memory card in the reader the whole week. Pulled it out... miracle.... It's cool again :eek:
    Sounds stupid but maybe everything can be hot on HP laptop LOL

    I dont really see how the memory card was doing anything...
    Try putting in the memory card again and checking.
