Evening, all. I just bought a 2570p, used for $85. Pretty much perfect condition. I've had all manner of desktops over the years but this is my first laptop. I'd like to ditch the desktop for this at some point. Before I do, I want to make sure this is working right.
If you don't mind, I have a quick question/problem. My fan doesn't come on (unless it's VERY quiet...I'm used to 7 big fans running at full speed on my desktop). I've kept this on my lap (where it's warmest) most of the day and......nothing. Either I haven't checked some box somewhere to enable things, the fan doesn't work (bad) or it just hasn't gotten hot enough for it to kick on. Any help would be appreciated. I'd hate to drop some money on a faster proc, etc and melt it all down.
Cool that there's a forum for this. I'll have to read up and check out the history but cudos to whoever started this!
Regards,
Monkeyman
