Guest guest Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions Tina. My laptop is a defective Acer Inspire. A common problem with them is the overheating. I sent it for "repair" several times but they always said it was fine. We did this over and over until the warranty expired. But it's not fine:) I do have a fan blowing on it but it doesn't help. It just gets worse and worse. Don't ever buy an Acer! lolhugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

If it's not one thing --it's a dozen others. I may soon be in the same boat with ya because my laptop is overheating and getting slower and slower, shuts itself off sometimes... stuff like that. I think it may be the motherboard. (I hope I didn't say that out loud....) I'll be thinking about you!hugs SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

I have recently made a local friend (finally, only been here a year!), will see if I can get her to take it to the guy in town, he won't charge me the $50 fee, just charge to look at it. We will see.
