I got this thing in 2009. Toshiba i3 processor, windows 7.
It's served me pretty good in 7 years. I can't say I have any complaints. But holy shit, is it just me or has the fan on this thing slowly become like 5x louder recently? Plus, it's almost certainly getting slower. Is this normal laptop aging? How soon should I expect to have to replace this thing?
When was the last time you cleaned its interiors? A friend of mine had the problem with his macbook it was too loud and heating up and eating up battery too fast. He took it to apple and they just cleaned it.
Shit gets into ventilation, cpu heats up, fans spin faster but still cant cool it, computer throttles and slows down. So clean it.

I'll see if I have any dustoff leftover from my last binge, thanks
Didn't we find this guy?

Clean mobo and fan. If doesn't work, lubricate the fan bearing (or fin) with fine oil. Worked for my 3 year old one.

So in other words "I have no idea what I am doing". Got it!
