hello. i have a dell inspiron 1501 laptop. it has been running really hot recently. the fan will only go on when the cpu reaches like 135 F. does anyone know how to change the temp so it comes on before it reaches that hot? i tried speedfan but the fan wasn't detected. and i didn't see it anywhere in the bios.

any help is appreciated!!!
thanks!!!
 
my friend just uses an antec laptop cooling pad, they range from $20-$100 if your just looking for one for normal use like surfing the web and movies and some gaming. Just run to best buy and grab a cheaper one and cool that down and save your lap haha =]
 
i was trying to avoid the wait of buying on ebay and ship, but ya check craigslist and ebay you can get them cheap there.
