    I close the lid after I was done using it and an hour later I put it on my lap, I could feel heat. I took my laptop out and it was hot!! My hand got slighttlt burn from touching the chasis. So I check the temp and the processor was at 99c. Man it was hot to touch!!!!

    Don't run FurMark when it's in your backpack. Use the shutdown/sleep feature of a device when not using it.

    I did. I think my wireless usb mouse was putting it on wakelock. The fan also didnt kick in while the lid was close.

    Why don't you check it yourselves? Can you still turn it on? Does it run normally? Is there any problem with the lid or case? Run some tests with your usual programs or games and see if it performs differently.

    How can anyone online tell you more about your notebook without seeing or checking it?
