@ David D,

My old Dell 600 runs painfully slow and this is with both win xp and when i boot ubuntu

Does it have enough memory installed?

My question is what’s the best way to test the fan with the laptop cover removed?

The unit seems a bit hot as well so I’m going to use your tutorial to open it up and blow out any dust in the fan. My question is what’s the best way to test the fan with the laptop cover removed?

Is there a way to fix this? How do we fix it?

kareem,

i have the same dell d600 that works fine except the fact that the heatsink fan is not working! i already cleaned up the dust from the fan and heatsink and put a thermal glue and it didn’t fix the problem, then i replaced the fan with another one that i got from a broken dell D600 and i had the same result!! so is there any thing else that could possibly cause this problem? any suggestions will be most appreciated.
