643125 2008-02-24 08:56:00 I know a person from another forum who has problems with a Dell laptop. Sounds like it is overheating but what do I know. :(

Anyone recommend a tech in Nelson? Sounds like a reinstall of XP needed but the basic problem - laptop dies suddenly - also must be diagnosed. About 3 years old I think.

Cheers

643127 2008-02-25 11:56:00 Try a vacume cleaner up next to where it blows out the air. I did this to an old compaq recently that was blowing out very hot air. apsattv (7406)

Agreed but the overheating is simply my best guess at a distance. It is a Dell and they cheaper ones can overheat because of the design. But it could be something else entirely. Just trying to help someone out.

643130 2008-02-25 22:02:00 I have no idea who's good in Nelson. They could courier to someone?

Or maybe ring the techs there and ask questions first, if they get knowledgable answers its a good sign..........
