my laptop is poorly also... :(

its my cooling-fan, so it gets too warm after a bit and i have to turn it off after about half an hour or so...

if it was a desktop, a fan would be the simplest of things to sort out (couple of quid), but its becoming a bit of a nightmare tring to find a fan for a tiny laptop... :( :evil:
