Why is left rear so hot when watching TV?

#1 Post by John H » Wed Dec 23, 2009 2:26 pm

It can get so hot back there that I take it down. Could it be a defective fan? Sometimes I hear a little squeak.

Otherwise, this old T60 widescreen has been a champ for the 3-4 years I've been using it.

Could be the way you are sitting. Or you might have a boil back there.

Do you mean watching TV on the Thinkpad?
