[wplug] laptop fan humming?

[Richard Farina]

If I were you, I'd find a new processor on ebay, you keep turning off 
that fan it is defiantly going to burn. I am a DCSE and I would be glad 
to lend you a hand fixing the laptop.  Feel free to email me off list 
and I'll see if I can point you in the right direction (parts wise) and 
I might even be able to provide instructions on how to disassemble that 
system (or I could help you)
