Laptop Heat-up: Help me.

[usy]

Guys, few days ago my sister by mistake plugged the PSP (5v) adaptor with my Acer Laptop, the laptop then went off surprisingly. I quicky removed it and yes I did call her a bitch and all that.

Since then the laptop heats up more then normal, although everything is normal apart from that.

Also the Acer Adaptor was 85V and psp one is 5V....

Anything that should be wrong? and how to fix that? is it dangerous?

I use it a lot. It can reduce the clock speed of the processor, hence, producing less heat.

My Acer slimeline PC blew up when I took it to Pakistan and plugged it in. It was even 110 V - 220 V!

I just chucked it a targeted house nearby

Thanks, but does it make a massive difference? Also, what do you think may have happened then?

Depends. Even though the voltage is lower, quite a lot of current might have passed, which might have damaged your processor or some stuff like that, though I highly doubt it.

It might be that a laptop fan blew up in the process. Your best bet is to contact Acer and get it fixed. Lowering clockspeeds will help but it isn't a permanent solution - You do want all the firepower you paid for, don't you?

Well, I didn't suggest it as a solution, rather it would have helped diagnose the problem easily.
If the temperatures manage to reduce, it could be due too CPU overload. Else, it might be a burnt/faulty fan.

Is it making noise as well??

 

[usy]

no noise just average temp of 68/75 [0]C...

 

[Abhas]

When you load up NHC, switch it to Max Battery Mode. This will ensure that the CPU is underclocked. Now see if the temperature reduces.

is your fan actually working, is there a hum when the system starts up (like that of a fan)
If there isn't u need to replace the fan. however its doubtful that its broken coz your machine would be frying by now.

 

[usy]

it works all fine now .

 

[Pak_cricketer]

what did you do to fix the problem?

 

[usy]

nothing much, I put it in the refrigerator for about 20 seconds.

 

[afridi25]

LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

You put it in a fridge

(not a bad idea)

 

[usy]

Yeah, it did kool down, as it needed to chill out. I don’t recommend that to anyone though, do it at your own hazard.

 

[Abhas]

Lol. Don't do it again.

If you have a dry icepack, I recommend putting it near the hard disk, and the fan. This will cool it down a bit. Don't overdo it, because, when you stop, the sudden change of temperature might do some damage.
