Thinkpad X120e - SO MUCH heat from bottom of the laptop

I Bought my new Leonovo Thinkpad X120e 10 days back. I get excessive heat from bottom of my laptop. I am unable to keep the laptop on my LAP for more than 5mins.. its so much heat. I am also getting heat from left side of the laptop. I think its from the heat ventilator. I installed TPFAN control software to look for temperatures. The CPU temp reads between 53 to 67 degree C.
I took my laptop to a local lenovo service provider and he replaced he replaced Thermal module FRU 04W1380.. I thought the problem would be okay. But the same heat from bottom of the laptop and from side. The most annoying thing is the heat from bottom. I preferred small laptop as I can keep it on my lap and work for few hours. I am very disspointed with the heat. Can someone help me to solve this issue or is it normal that X120e dissipates heat from bottom of the laptop?

An outside temperature of 33 degreees C (91 F) is normal, according to Notebookcheck. That's at load. At idle, it says the x120e should hit 28 degress C (82 F).
It also says that processor temperature gets up to 90 degres C (194 F). Your processor temperature is well within normal.
28 to 33 degrees C is warm, but I'll bet my old x100e has you beat. Notebookcheck records the old x100e as reaching 61 degrees C (142 F) on the underside! I mean, it's no longer a matter of warm jeans and a red spot on my legs. The thing gets so hot I could turn it upside down and cook an egg.
Check to see that your AMD processor is downclocking itself properly in the Power Manager settings. If your x120e is clocked up to maximum performance settings, it's going to run as hot as it can. If you dial it back, it'll run cooler and you'll save some battery life.

Script that gives specific names to layers - from bottom to the top

Hi,
This is probably an easy one for anyone with JavaScript experience.
I have 35 layers that I want to give specific names to (now they're named liked "layer 1, 2, 3" - but sometimes this won't be consistent, so some numbering might be skipped,
in other words I can't rely on a script that renames a specific "Layer 1" to "my name").
I want to rename each layer from the bottom to the top, i.e.:
"Power"
"Yellow"
"Hello"
With the script working its way up from the bottom to the top.
How do I accomplish this?
Thank you so much for you taking your time to help me.

something like this?
if so, type your names in a text frame, select it and run this script

Why does WIndows 7 OS taskbar disappear from bottom of the screen when in Firefox.

I have gone through all of the Mozilla steps for fixing the problem, such as Troubleshooting, Reset Firefox, going to Start Menu>Control Panel>Taskbar properties.
The thing is, on the "Taskbar appearance" tab, there is no box to click that says anything like "Keep taskbar on top of all screens."
I also have seen something about an .rdf(?) file. I have no idea where to find that...

I think your task bar setting is okay: it is not set to auto-hide.
Can you pull up the bottom of the Firefox window to above the task bar using this keyboard-based method:
While Firefox is active, press Alt+Spacebar to activate the window control menu. Press s to select Size, then down arrow once to select the bottom border, then up arrow repeatedly until the window clears the Task Bar, then press Enter to finish.
If Size is not available, your window may be maximized. Since you can't resize a maximized window, you may need to use the next method...
Here's the part about the RDF file: Sometimes the file that stores the positions and sizes of windows becomes corrupted. You can rename the file, but a side effect is that your toolbar customizations will be lost, as they are stored in the same file. If you want to try it:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Leaving that folder open, switch back to Firefox and Exit
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''localstore.rdf''' to something like localstore.old
Restart Firefox. You should have default windows sizes and positions.

Water damage on the bottom of the laptop - x201

Total TMI, but I got the stomach flu last night and ended up throwing up on the bottom (as in the part that sits on your lap or the desk) of my x201 laptop. I immediately turned my laptop over, hoping nothing had gotten inside yet, and that whatever did would drain back out.
I've waited about 30 hours. My laptop will not turn on, even with the chord plugged in. However, the little green light by my fingerprint reader is still on.
Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance!!
Solved!

Umm., I guess that is a sort of water damage. I hope that you fare well with the flu anyway.
Turning over your Thinkpad was good. The other thing that you should have done immediately is remove power - the battery and power cord. If anything got inside the computer, it won't be enough to let it dry. It needs to be cleaned as the dried solids will inevitably cause electrical shorts. Which appears to be the case if your laptop won't boot now.
The inside of your laptop needs to be cleaned. If you are out of warranty and a do it yourselfer, what needs to be done is to disassemble your laptop and clean it with a flux remover or perhaps a denatured alcohol and gentle scrubbing with a mild brush. Then let it thoroughly dry before applying power. If any part of that seems daunting or you are in warranty, then off to the service guys.
The good news is that you will likely recover 100% from this if the power was removed without too much delay. Laptops and phones (other than the display) are actually fairly robust in surviving water exposure.

Unable to download all photos from iphone to the laptop

I have updated the portable devices software, it was already upto date anyway.I just want to automatically transfer all phots, inc videos and folders in the photo folder to my laptop but I am unable to do this .Please help.

You can only transfer photos in the Camera Roll; photos in the Photo App's folders other than the Camera Roll were synced from a computer, and can only be managed from that computer. If it is Camera Roll photos that you are having trouble with see: Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer

C560 - Too much heat at monitor after Win 10 upgrade

Hi Friends, Before upgrading to win 10, I made clean format to win 8.1 and updated it full. After upgrading to win 10, right side of the monitor (up to down) there is too much heat and is untouchable cause of heat. Also, the hardisc and display card is making too much noise after upgrade to win 10. Is it normal? And what can I do?

Hi ebordon,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
I am sorry to hear your issue but let's try to isolate this. Hopefully will be able to boot your unit to Windows. Since this is a U.S. model, these steps are applicable to your unit.
Remove all peripherals -> look for a battery off button or pinhole on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds.
Reset BIOS.
Safe Mode.
If you're planning to roll back to the previous operating system, please visit this page: How to go back to a previous version of Windows after Windows 10 has been installed.
For other concern and for further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope these help.

How to install Vista using product key from bottom of Satellite P200?

Hello all,
I recently had to replace my HDD as my P200 had a fatal error, corrupting all data on the old HDD. I have no recovery discs at all, (None were supplied), and wondered how i am supposed to re-install Vista using my product key from the bottom of the laptop? Can anybody give any kind of assistance please?
As i have been reading other related threads i get the impression that i need to approach Toshiba and buy a recovery CD, at my expense. Is this correct?
Thanks
Lee

Hi
As far as I know the serial key which is placed at the bottom of the unit would not work with other Vista versions! the key belongs to the OEM Vista version preinstalled by Toshiba.
As mentioned by Jeka, you will need to order an recovery disk or will need to use an clean Vista CD with an own serial key purchased previously.

Does anyone know where you can get a rubber pad for the bottom of the Macbook Pro 13"?

My Macbook Pro 13" tends to get a bit warm while sitting on my lap at times. I really don't want to put a case on it, but I wondered if anyone sells a rubber pad that might cover the bottom of the laptop? I would think this would help with the heat and also provide better gripping when you set it down on a surface. Nothing fancy, just a rubber pad that would stick on.
Never hurts to ask
Thanks

The metal body is a key part of the heat dissipation.
And the MBP is a "notebook", not a "laptop". Air flows around the body to get rid of heat.
I have used my MBP on my lap, but always balanced on both legs and left as much metal as possible exposed. Now I understand even that was risky.
If you want to use a hard-surface that the MBP sits on and the surface sits on your leg, then OK. But the heat you feel is the MBP clearing itself.

Clicking noise from new Toshiba Satellite laptop?

I have a Toshiba Satellite C55-A5195 (Windows 7 Home Premium). It was bought brand new around 3 weeks ago. I've noticed that, besides the fan noise, the bottom of the laptop makes a clicking or buzzing noise. The laptop has blue screened twice, something about memory management. I don't really mind the noise, I just want to make sure there's nothing wrong with the laptop's hardware.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

With any physical sounds like that, it can be really hard to know if it's something serious or not. Hard drives, optical drives, and fans all have moving parts that can cause noise.
In regards to the blue screens, have you installed many programs? Do you know what you were doing when they occurred?

How MUCH heat is acceptable coming from iMac/iSight?

My week-old iMac/iSight is getting very hot in the upper lefthand corner of the screen. Sometimes it's almost too hot to touch.
I've talked with several Apple Techs and went through the usual hardware tests. Nothing was found.
But eventually this much heat is going to do further damage to either the screen or other hardware. Being only a week old...shouldn't they just replace it if they can't determine the problem? I don't want to be stuck with a machine that melts down in a week or month and then end up in the repair shop time after time.
iMac/iSight Mac OS X (10.4)

QGrayson:
On the iSight, the processor is in about the upper left quadrant as you face the computer. That seems to be where most of the heat is generated. When you feel the back of the computer case, it will be warmer than else where. It also seems to be warmer where the Apple emblem is on the front. There is an exhaust vent-really slits-that goes across the back at the top. The exhaust air coming out of the left back is warmer than from the right back. Mine has never been hot. Warm yes but never hot. Also, when I touch the bottom where the grill goes across the computer, it seems cool there. At least with my computer.
Regarding temperature sensors. Whenever I give values I add that I am using the processor at the highest and the screen is the brightest. People give temperatures but do not specify strength processor is being run or brightness of the screen. These do affect the temperature sensors.
Using Hardware Monitor, mine are as follows:
ODD 104.9, HD 112.1, NB Amb. 140.9, NB 164.3, GPU Amb. 133.0, GPU 130.6, Incoming air 86.9, CPU 129.6. CPU current is 1.74.
These are the numbers right now. I have Firefox, Safari and Hardware open. The room temperature is no where near 86.9. I can only assume this sensor is not really measuring room temperature which is about 68-70 as per thermostat.
I don't think my number are high or go higher. They have been lower. Also, my fan speeds do not vary very much.
This only confirms to me the iSight runs at a lower temperatures the the earlier models.

Can the heat from my computer hurt my battery?

Hi I just had a second battery put into my almost 4 year old macbook. The 1st replacement was put in last June I believe. I had it replaced again a few days ago because it would die out within 20 minutes and the computer wouldn't go to sleep it would just shut off. So I'm trying to keep this new battery healthy for as long as possible. What I was wondering was if the heat from the computer running can hurt my battery in the long run. The bottom of my computer is pretty much always hot. It is currently at 150 degrees F. I downloaded smcFanControl to increase the fan speed on my computer in hopes it would keep it cooler. I wanted to know if there was anything else I could do for it. Also how frequently should I cycle through my battery?
Thanks,
Kristina

" The bottom of my computer is pretty much always hot. It is currently at 150 degrees F."
On what sort of surface is your computer on? If it is on a flat hard surface, the temperature of your computer is too hot, and there's something wrong.

"USB draws too much power" from GoPro camera?

My GoPro camera battery doesn't seem to charge right or something because when I charged it tonight, it seemed to be over heating. This is a brand new camera and one of the first time I tried charging the battery.
When I checked my computer it came up with the error:
"Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your usb devices have been disabled"
I tried a different cable, that didn't work. Reset the SMC. That didn't work. Reset the PRAM. That didn't work. Tried to plug in my iPod to see if that works, it works fine. It refuses to connect via USB to my GoPro camera
I'm thinking of reinstalling OSX 10.6.8
I have a black Macbook, 2.4ghz intel core 2 duo.
Anyone else have any ideas of what to do??

Which GoPro Hero Camera?
I use both my GoPro Hero 2 cameras with the same MacBook and have no problems.
Try charging the camera batteries before you connect to the MacBook.
I am interested to see if that works for you.
