I have this laptop, purchased way back in 2006, if I remember correctly. Its a very weak computer by modern standards, 2GB RAM, 2.2Ghz processor, stuff like that. Recently, I updated from XP to Windows 7. Now, my battery had gone bust a few months ago and, the laptop was running on a direct line from the plug point. After upgrading, I found that, it was getting heated up very rapidly. It would heat up a 3 by 3 foot table I kept it on in half an hour, and, the heat was intense. So much that, you can't keep your hand on it. However, this seems to only happen only at the bottom because, the keyboard remains at normal temperature along with the touch pad. Does removing the battery cause my laptop to heat up fast and, if so, should I buy a new one? Also, another anomaly I saw was that, whenever I tried to connect my laptop to my home Wi-Fi, it wouldn't work. If I went to the modem's setup page FROM my computer and restarted it, it would start working. Back when it was XP, my laptop had a problem where it couldn't connect to the internet unless the options were changed to bridge connection. My modem, too, is very old and faulty and, often requires restarts but, my laptop has not been able to connect to it in one shot even once. I use a Huawei WA1003A modem. Is the problem in ths case with my laptop or, my modem?
