all this from having a laptop on the side that has suffered absolutely no abuse (except when roy posts) during it's life. the fan always seems to be on, how the feck do motherboards get shot ? i'm only ever on here and ebay so its not like it is working flat out all the time, i'm brassed off that the battery is goosed tbh as it hasnt run on battery power very often it's always plugged in. i'm hoping it's this gel stuff and works out to be a cheap fix, do you think my hawaian tropic deep tanning gel might do the same job ?
