Fixing an overheating Inspiron 1300 laptop
We love the Dell Inspiron 1300 laptops here in our office - we have 3 of them.
Until recently they were Dell's lowest end laptop, and as I always preach - buy the cheapest laptop you can. They only last a year or two at most, and even the lowest end machines these days are more than powerful enough for what most people need.
Lately the oldest of our 3 laptops has been overheating. Having scalded my partners legs one too many times, it was finally clear that something was seriously wrong with his machine. This was confirmed with a M1004 error code (a Dell overheating code) that tells you to call their service centre. More details - thanks to worldtv.com
