It is true that laptop fans are a little hard to hear, but what I do in
addition to listening is putting my hand over the vents to feel the air
blowing out. It is pretty easy to detect when the fan is on.
Good luck.

Hi all,
Sorry for the off-topic post, but I am unable to resubscribe to Blind Geek
Zone with my new email address. My mom recently got a new Dell laptop, very
nice; 512mb video card, dual core proc, 4gb ram, all that. Today it was left
in a car for a couple hours, but the car was not very hot and the laptop was
in a backpack. When she started it up, it was extremely warm, though in no
specific area (not around only the battery or the processor). It said it had
recovered from an unexpected shutdown. I thought nothing of it until, some
hours later (after letting it completely cool in a cshut down state) it
flashed a Blue Screen of Death and rebooted. Now we are backing up all her
data, but I am not sure what the problem could be. One thing I hate about
new laptops is that it is so hard to hear the fan, so I am not sure if it is
running. A sighted friend and I are going to look at it, but is there
anything we should look for?
Have a great day,
Alex
