Is the computer overheating?
It is normal for the computer to feel warm to the touch while it
is in use. But if the computer feels unusually warm, it may be
overheating because a vent is blocked.
If you suspect that overheating could be causing the problem,
allow the computer to cool to room temperature. Then be sure
to keep all vents free from obstructions while you are using the
computer.
Ä
CAUTION: To prevent overheating, do not obstruct vents. Use the
computer only on a hard, flat surface. Do not allow another hard
surface, such as an adjoining optional printer, or a soft surface, such as
a pillows or thick rugs or clothing, to block airflow.
✎
The fan in the computer starts up automatically to cool internal
components and prevent overheating. It is normal for the
internal fan to cycle on and off during routine operation.
