Hi, I was browsing the internet looking for some advice and noticed this forum. Maybe someone could help me.
I bought my father an emachines E520 laptop nearly 2 years ago now. It runs on vista home basic with service pack 2.
It started shutting itself down suddenly, I checked the tempreture and it was running at 79 degrees C. So I cleaned all the dust out of the fan and surrounding area, which turned out to be a nightmare of a job as there was no access to the fan from underneath and I had to go under the motherboard......a place I don't like to be if I can help it!
Anyway I removed a substantial amount of dust and fluff, turned the laptop back on and it turned it'self off after about 10 minutes.
Before I played with it, it was only turning off now and again after a few hours of use, now it is turning off after a few minutes of use.
Aaaarrgh what have I done?
Can anyone help me please?
Many Thanks
