I just got this Pentium II laptop on Ebay. The cooling fan rarely runs, even when the laptop feels very warm or hot. When the fan does turn on, it's only for a second or two.
Is there a BIOS update to fix it, or is the dead CMOS battery the cause? The BIOS is limited and no setting fixes it.
The issue also plagued the Pentium 1 Toshibas I used to have. My Satellite 2805-s202 is only a year newer than the Tecra 8000 and does not have this problem. Guess it was one of the first models to be patched.
