[Sussex] Laptop repair

[Tim Smith]

I was amazed at the difference when I blasted the heatsink on my P4 notebook
with some compressed air from a can. The dust had pretty much formed a
complete barrier across the fins. The fan had been going almost constantly,
which was getting embarrassing when using the laptop in the living room when
my wife was trying to watch TV!
It was a Dell Inspiron 5100 and it was quite easy to do
Kind regards
Tim
