I use an Acer Travel Mate 2420 and I find it's getting excessively hot at all times .What can I do to resolve

Answer 1

Get a commercial laptop cooling pad. They have built in fans to increase air circulation by drawing warm air away from the laptop. They plug into a USB port so you don't need an electrical outlet. And you can actually use your laptop on your lap if you so desire. They come in various prices and most computer stores carry them. Here's a sample:

Answer 2

Hi. Try putting some blocks (deck of cards size) under the rear corners. This will increase airflow. Don't use it on your lap because the airflow stops.
