Mr Carpet
September 18, 2007My Inspiron 6000 was getting very hot lately - say, the past four months. Where the fan barely kicked in during the early days of the laptop, it spun almost continuously these days. This got me worried, and today, I took the entire laptop apart. Only to discover carpet had actually grown inside the laptop - right between the entrance to the fan cavity and the heatpipe.
Why hello there, Mr Carpet!.
I took Mr Carpet out of the fan cavity, and looked at him for a while. Then came big Mr Grumpy Vacuum Cleaner, and up, up and away Mr Carpet went. I imagined a faint ‘heeeeeeeeeelp’.
My Inspiron’s now back to cool and quiet service.
