Want to buy a cooler for my Laptop

[jannatul18]

Hello guys, I am using HP laptop for more than 5 years now. It was ok till somedays. Problem is it get heated so much that it go to shut down mode. Now thinking of buying a cooler, can anyone suggest anything? Or should I buy anything to clean the dust from the fan?

I have just bought one of these

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Targus-AWE55EU-Laptop-Cooling-laptop/dp/B002Q8X3L2/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1429178045&sr=1-1&keywords=Targus+AWE55EU+Laptop+Cooling+Pad+2

It arrives tomorrow, so I should know after the weekend if it works. I tried cleaning the dust from the fan but it did not seem to help. To clean it properly requires taking the laptop apart from what I have read online and that seems to be quite tricky so I am giving the cooler a try.

Is the fan working inside? Maybe a local repair guy if not? A brush and vac may help otherwise Amazon for a cooler maybe

if you want to get dust out computers, use this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Duster-Compressed-Flammable-400ml/dp/B000MQ7DZC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1429190039&sr=8-1&keywords=air+duster

ideally try not to use a vacuum if there is exposed electronics or near to as it can cause static and damage it.

Bearing in mind, if it's overheating without an external cooler, there maybe a bigger problem lurking underneath, such as decayed thermal paste etc. Also make sure you give the laptop plenty of ventilation around the inlet and output vents.

Ran the laptop using the targus cooler for several hours on Sunday and it worked very well
