    cause of the death .............

    A well known family in Mequon lost their 25 year old son
    (Arun Gopal Ratnam) in a fire at home June 4th.

    It took several days of investigation
    to find out the cause of the fire.

    It was determined that the fire was caused
    by lap top in the bed.
    :shocked::shocked::shocked::sorry:


    When the lap top is on the bed
    cooling fan does not get air to cool the computer
    and that is what caused the fire.


    Uneven surface of the bedsheet has blocked the
    air intake vent below the cpu fan.
    :eek:
    When the laptop is placed on a flat surface i.e. on desk/table,
    there is a gap between the desk surface and the base of the casing
    to allow air to flow/suck in through the air intake vent
    by the cpu fan to cool the cpu.

    The reason I'm writing this to all of you is that
    I have seen many of us using our lap top in bed.

    Let us all decide and make it a practice not to do that.
    Risk is real.
    Let us make it a rule not to use lap top in bed or
    put computer on bed with blankets and pillows around.
