    laptops usually get overheated very quickly so best
    advice is to not use it for that long+ 1 questions to all the laptop owners
    how long does a laptop battery usually last for b4 charging?-unsure
     
  3. depends. not all laptop batteries carry the same charge..

    for example, my fatass battery lasts for 2 hours during minimum processing.. thats because my laptop is a power house... shes a whore for power.. extreme laptops have batteries that can last till 13-14 hours.. but most ive seen lasts about 3-4 hours on average..

    on a side note, do you guys leave your power cables plugged in with the battery pack, even after its fully charged?

    i did that with my old battery, and it killed it.. had to buy a 70 dollar battery replacement.. now i leave my battery out everytime its plugged into power..

    ye thats what i do, i leave the battery out everytime it is plugged to the power socket unless im charging the battery. but tbh i don't think it matters to much these days cos of the development of lithium ion batteries. apparently u can charge it at anytime, but i don' t leave it in just to be on the safe side.
     
  5. ^ well, my battery aint li-ion =)

    It's crap when your laptop doesn't start even if its fully charged or last for few mins.


    Just remove the battery when you don't use it or it will die

    best thing is to get an external fan for it...generally cheap...20 bucks for a standard one...works good for me...since i use a HP Pav too....

    you can place your laptop on your lap, if you know where the fan takes air in is.. usually in the right or left corner..

    that rebate cant buy shit-_- $800 for a new laptop? itll save money.. but i only bought this laptop last year.. its pretty new, one of those 13.1inch screen ones.. which means its small.. but backed with features.. -inlove probably have to pay 4 times as much to buy this one now !! its asus btw :)

    mine lasts for like.. hmm.. 1.5 hours.. not much.. but its always on charge anyway -lol

    nahh, it would be inconvenient.. having your laptop slanted most of the times.. =/

    yesyes a lot of my friends complain to me about this ..
    they either got a external fan or they just put it on something solid, not any type of fabric

    I don't get it either ... -mellow

    you should probably clean the dust with the compressed air and also get a cooling mat. with a cooling mat, you can use your laptop for years without it overheating, unless the fan stops working.
     
  20. we should count how many people in here have suggested the use of compressed air.

    if i get 50 cents out of everyone who did, i can buy myself a magazine to read.
