[Eug-lug] Laptop recomendations? Repair?

[Mr O]

Disassemble, blow the dust out of the heatsinks and fan, put new
thermal compound on, and keep it elevated. The CPU is NOT
designed for laptops. You have a desktop socket 478 CPU in
there. By keeping it cool and air flowing around it you should
get more life out of it.
