Hot Air

[whistonian]

I have noticed that my laptop blows hot air out of the vent,is this normal or does the fan need cleaning.

If your working your laptop to its full capabilities then you might get higher temperatures. If its only normal use then a clean of the vents and fan may be needed.
It is resting on a flat surface with a gap underneath isn't it?

Nice one Svejk :-)

The fan on mine is on all the time, working or idle. The only time it stops is when the laptop is turned off or I put it into sleep (or similar) mode. How do I clean the fan (assuming that's what is required)?
