A Novel Cooling System…

Posted by: Henri Cook In: General Ramblings|Humour|Sillyness|Technical Support

I was recently asked to repair a five year old Sony Vaio PCG-FX705, it’s got a 600 Mhz processor don’t ya know? Anyway it overheats and shuts down a lot which makes it bin worthy to my eyes, but a sentimental owner has a different opinion. Here’s a couple of pictures of my solution to the overheating problem (while I got Windows to install) – many thanks to Kopparberg and Carlsberg for their assistance..

It’s probably overheating because there is five years worth of dust caked on the fans and heatsinks inside. Turn it over, unscrew the cover, get some compressed air and blast away.
