I have 2 Dell note PC, Vostro 1000. one is at my home and another is at our office.
They works as Linux server.
About 1 year ago, Vostro at our office overheated and shutdown.
In that case, I called Dell service and he fixed it. He said the reason is dust.
Today, I encountered again. Vostro at my home overhead.
I thought I should disassemble Vostro ...? I don't want to waste holiday to do such thing ...
Fortunately, I have an "Air Duster". I tried to use it.
before:
% cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature temperature: 73 C
After:
% cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature temperature: 54 C
Cool!

But, I used its air to outlet of the fan. I can see some dust in air, though a lot of dust went to the inner of notebook?
