Toshiba Mobile Care have come through with the delivery of the laptop within 24 hours as promised. I got a report explaining what had been repaired. According to the report the following was repaired:

  1. Replaced CPU Fan
  2. Cleaned Dust from CPU Heatsink (why not just replace the fan and heatsink most desktops and laptops have them standard as one part)
  3. Updated BIOS
  4. Battery being replaced and is on backorder.

I have been running it all day next to me at work and currently its cpu temperature is at 38% and the fan is running at 81%… All it is doing is running Media Player and sitting there… I guess it is no wonder why the Toshiba A500 Overheated.  I will be putting the Antec Notebook Cooler 200 on the laptop when it gets home so it will be interesting to see the CPU temperature after a while of it running.
