Re: fan not working, pc heating up and turning off



Its open to Q as to whether removing a battery will prolong its life.
Some Laptops require the battery to be connected, removing and running on
pwr can cause problems on these.
I have just been reading an article on battery life, it was suggested that
the life might be 'enhanced' by occasionally running on battery down to
about 40% then recharging.
The Laptop manu's here only tend to offer battery warranty replacement up to
6 months.

Hi !
Since one of the Dell Techs made an in-home visit to replace my
Inspiron's
display, I have removed the battery based on a belief that it will last
longer due to most product's "Shelf Life" being longer than their
"Operational Life". Now however, a question has come to mind about which
electrical supply does the fan operate off of. I haven't noticed whether
or
not the fan still cycles now that I've removed the battery. Does anyone
know
for certain when it runs and how it's powered ??? I've also noticed that
the
front-left corner of the PC gets pretty hot after several hours of use; so
I
put the PC into "Hibernate" mode after 4 hours of so. Any ideas on how
this
will affect my PC's life span ??? Thank You all for any input ! Ed VA

New fans are under $5. Processors are a lot more expensive.

Yes, but since this is a laptop the OP will probably not be able to
replace
the fan herself. She should contact Dell tech support.
