Question

Help answer this question below.

My daughters laptop gets so hot you can't set it in your lap to work because it will burn your legs, then it's shuts off. It even melted the plug that you use to get wall power. Is this something that I can get fixed, or just trash it and get a new one?

    if the fans are spinning they aren't broken my step brothers has the same problem I don't know if you can get them but what you need to get is a pad type thing that you can put the laptop on that won't cover the fans and I'm guessing its an old laptop that has been used heaps but if you can sit it without covering the fans it won't overheat or turn off it worked for us but we used cups to hold it put in the air you could try that before you go looking for the pad thats going to hold it in the air if that works then search for the pad if they exist I dunno if they do but thats probly your best bet

    or it could be the battery try making that out and if it doesn't do it without the battery then buy a new battery

    we worked out with ours the battery was fine the fans were just covered and couldn't work

    good luck
