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?

    Make sure that the fan holes are not blocked and that the cooling fans are actually working. It's sounds like either the CPU fan or the power supply fan have stopped working. These parts are replaceable but you should have the work done by a technician. If it's under warranty then take it in for repair otherwise you will have to pay to fix it. As for buying a new one it would depend on what your willing to pay to fix this one.
