Important information on your Satellite
®
computer’s
cooling fan
The CPU cooling fan on the underside of your Satellite computer cools the
CPU by drawing outside air into the computer.
To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, make sure the cooling fan's air
intake is not blocked. The fan draws in air by creating a vacuum. If the fan is
blocked, it could cause the CPU to run at a lower performance level or cause
the computer to shut down. Loose items such as notebook and tissue paper,
plastic wrappers, or other similar materials can block the air intake,
preventing air from reaching the CPU. Do not use the computer on surfaces
with objects that can be drawn in by the cooling fan.

Problems that are easy to fix
Your program stops responding.
If you are working with a program that suddenly freezes all operations,
chances are the program has stopped responding. You can exit the failed
program without shutting down the operating system or closing other
programs.
To close a program that has stopped responding:
1 Press Ctrl, Alt, and Del simultaneously (once).
2 Click the Applications tab.
If a program has stopped responding, the words “not responding”
appear beside its name in the list.
3 Select the program you want to close, then click End Task.
Closing the failed program should allow you to continue working. If it
does not, continue with step 4.
4 Close the remaining programs one by one by selecting the program
name, then End Task.
