I ask because my cpu gets very hot and I think I need to replace the cpu Thermal Compound. Also my fan is making some weird noise. I have a Presario 722US.

I love my iBook, and other than it overhearting, it has been better (in my opinion) than my PCs. Does it overheat because of the processor or an insuffucient fan?

My laptop overheats and the screen won’t come on. If it is shut down for awhile and turned back on it is fine. Is this a fan problem and if so what can I do to repair it without taking it in for repair? Can I order a part and replace it?

what are the chances a new fan will work? I am thinking it is something on the mother board but I am not overly familiar with laptops and I do not have a schematic. Any help would be appreciated, it’s a nice machine.
I have taken it apart to make sure the fan was plugged in, so assembly is not a problem. I just do not know where to start the trouble shooting.

Every minute or so on my Toshiba Satellite laptop, the hard disk light flickers and this is followed by a 2 or 3 second whooshing sound of the fan coming on and off. It seems to happen even when there is no activity, and it is VERY annoying. I’d like like to purchase a new laptop that does not have this feature. Any suggestions?
