Well that could simply be the fact that they used substandard<br>
capacitors and part for the ethernet, and as such it failed over time.<br>
manufactures consider laptops to be pretty disposable after 2-3 years,<br>
any older and they tend to get squirrely.<br>

That explains the fan but not the internet switch.<br>

At one time this was very true, and in some ways it can still be<br>
true. parts like the fans wear out, and due to the space constraints<br>
in a laptop this is more critical, and there are some thermal<br>
considerations to think about as well. but as long as you are giving<br>
decent airflow around the laptop, and you are prepared to swap a fan<br>
sooner than later it should have no real impact on the hardware.<br>
<br>
I run mine for work 9+ hours straight and the previous one i had did<br>
this for 4.4 years before it finally got weird enough to be<br>
replaced.<br>
<br>
I would most definitely enable power savings on your monitor because<br>
that screan can suffer from burnout, and its not as easy to replace<br>
as a monitor.<br>

I read on another board that it was bad to leave a laptop on 24/7 Is<br>
that so? If it is I guess that is why my laptop is having problems!<br>
