I bought a cheap laptop off amazon. I do my fishcam livestreams with it. It's noisier than heck. It's the fan, just so noisy that it's unusable. So here I go, yet another project! This is a short one, I did take care of the noise.
And you thought I only knew how to break motors, and boats and stuff like that. Heck I can take anything apart....

Yeah but can you get it back together without screws and “excess” parts left over?
Oh, it's back together, but no screws. Actually I did not snap the bottom into place, I left a small gap. This way the external fan has more escape room for air volume.
Here's a link to the stupid thing. It's cheap enough, and good, other than the fan. I'm sure there's another way to address the problem, this just happen to be my way. Lots of ways to skin a cat.

I did download an ap to measure CPU temp, and it's fine with just the external fan on it.
