Fujitsu Laptop Issues

[O. Sinclair]

I would say that this is not so easy. What part of the laptop is hot? I 
have 2 Dell, one older 500m and one 6400 (Inspiron). The 500m has parts 
that are near scorching when you touch them after running for some time. 
Yet if I check the cpu temp it is OK and the laptop never have problems.

the 6400 is reported to have problems with the cpu getting so hot it 
shuts down. I run a software to control the cpu fans and let the cpu 
oscillate between 35 - 50 C. Other parts of the laptop are again 
uncomfortably hot to touch or have on your lap. Am still not sure 
whether the cpu fan control is needed but run it to avoid potential 
problems.

I would check ubuntuforums.org and similar for other users of same 
laptop and see if I find issues/solutions.
