The Fan, The Fan
31.10.06
I recently (5/6 Months ago) purchased a brand-spanking-new Mecer Laptop. Top of the range, all the specs are present that any user would need (too many, too boring to go through one by one just trust me, they're all there).
Everyone is aware of the Sony Battery debacle; explosions, fire, mini nuclear explosions just about. "Cool," I thought, "this could never happen to me." And it hasn't... yet. My keypad started heating, the fan became clearly audible (not in that "is it on, can I really hear it" sort of way) to the extent that it startled me when I started up the laptop. Now this combined with heat issue have started me worrying about the state of my fairly new laptop.
I am so concerned that I will lose everything that tonight I am backing up all my usefull stuff (usefull is a loose term that is very relative at this point) to my external hard drive. Thank however is up there for these little beauts.
Then tomorrow I am off to Midrand to get my sick puppy looked at and hopefully fixed. What admin, what a mess, what fuss.

I've only eveer heard rumors of that batterything. Is it a fact that this really happens? My laptop has been making funny sounds ever since i got it. The fas sounds like a 747 just before take-off :-p

Yes, apparently it is a fact. Purely speaking from experience; one day my fan started doing the take-off sound. then the battery started heating up to the point that when I touched it, it burnt my finger. Keys started to get warmer than usual. So i took it in.
Mecer have obviously experienced this problem before because when i explained the issue the women said, "oh yes, the fan, sure thing, its under warranty we can fix it in under 2 days."
