When should the fan on my laptop come on..i can see it from underneithe, but never see or it running..? g.dee
mine only runs when plugged into an electrical outlet (never with a battery). Or was it vice versa? (I forgot). I don't think mine runs when the computer is hot, because I don't think I have any temperature sensors
