Hello TPU member's /Guests,
My nephew is just a kid (12) , But he is IN LOVE with PC Gaming, and video editing , recording, and basically ALL manner of PC tech. I try My best to encourage his interests, and help it Flourish into Whatever He wants it to become. Unfortunately as of late, His laptop has been hitting TJMaxx, and shutting down.
My problem is that I DO know a Decent bit about PC's , but My knowledge of Laptop's is MINIMAL @ best. I assume that they basically have the Same make up, but My ignorance gives Me fear to simply open it, and Clean, and try to resolve whatever problem is causing the Over heating.
My questions are, Can I simply open it, and address the issue , e.g. Clean fans of dust, dirt , and debris? Re-Apply TIM to GPU , and CPU?
I DO know all the precautions to mind while working on a Desktop PC, are they the Same with a Laptop? It IS still under warranty , Should I just have it sent in for repair? I apologize if this line of questioning Seems basic, but I REALLY have never owned a laptop, and dont want to cause any damage. I have Also looked into those laptop Cooling fan bases, that go under the unit, and have several fans that help increase ventilation, are these of any REAL use? I KNOW that they MUST provide SOME kind of decrease in C's, but I prefer to spend my time making a more permanent , and successful fix, (NOT a bandage).
Laptop Model is--- HP PAVILLION G6-2270DX (under Warranty Still)Win 8 64bit.
I Know it has an AMD CPU/GPU combo. Sorry for LAck of details, it's NOT My laptop.
Any and ALL RELATED advice is welcome, please if You have No constructive advice to offer, there are LOT'S of funny videos on youtube, go watch one of them
