Just curious if this is normal. I have a t43 model 2668. I have notice that it gets pretty warm under neath the computer directly under the touchpad. Right in the middle it gets warm.

I have the computer plugged in, and is on the maximum battery.

Give me your thoughts.

Should feel a little warm. CPU, soutbridge, wifi (if applicable) are all there.

If it's not, your laptop is off or dead

most of the thinkpad will get hot underneath of it.
no big deal, don't worry about that

That is normal for a T43 plugged in on maximum; the are around the touchpad on the surface might also get warm as well...depends how long you use it like that.

I have a T43.My case is just as yours.
The heat comes from the southbridge.Ever you turn off the wireless card,as hot as turned on.

NHC and power play to minimum did the trick for me.
it idles now on 41C. So the fan is or off or on first/second stage and that's very quiet . there is NO fan issue on mine.
And i'm very sensitive to noise !

i dont know if it's different from other T43's or maybe other users didn't try those tweaks ...?

i mean this line "NHC and power play to minimum did the trick for me. "

lower the CPU voltage with Notebook Hardware Control and move power play setting to minimum.
