Laptop overheating
My laptop has recently started to get quite hot, just above the touch pad. I assume that the processor is located beneath that spot. The only fan, that I can see, is located at the top right corner of the machine and comes on, occasionally, when something is happening; particularly when a DVD/CD is inserted. The laptop is constantly connected to the mains. It's only disconnected when in transit and is reconnected on arrival at the new place. I often had my previous desktops in bits, but have little knowledge of opening laptops up; the situation underneath is a wee bit baffling. Can anyone be of assistance to me, please.

As I said, previously, the fan works very well, when anything is happening, usually if a DVD/CD is being read. It, also, works at other times and certainly isn't clogged up. I've watched it work, to make sure of that.
I've had this laptop for over two years and had no trouble, until I started to use it instead of my desktop, which meant adding the broadband connection. It may be that the work load is greater than it was intened to cope with.
