I am a freelance worker and Laptops are my key weapon to earn my bread and beer. So, I always try to keep my laptops functioning. My primary laptop is a Dell Latitude E6410 and I use an HP 240 G2 as Backup.
Well, buying that HP was a very wrong decision as that particular model heats up too much and ordinary cooling docks can't help much. I was looking for a solution to that Over Heating issue for my HP laptop and found that I can use some DIY water cooling system available on Amazon and AliExpress. But as I live in Bangladesh, Amazon will take too much as Shipping, also the customs will make some issues as that certain item is not very known to them. And about Aliexpress, their packages go lost very often after they reach Bangladeshi Post Offices.
So I was thinking some innovative and easy to adopt a solution and something clicked my head. What about using a Hot Water Bag as a Cooling Device?
I can easily get a Hot Water Bag from any drug store, so I went to the nearest one and found that all their hot water bags are made of plastic and I will need an extra piece of cloth to wrap around if as I don't want my laptop get wet.
Then the drug store worker told me that there are some models that come with ready wraps and she can get me one in 2/3 days - I ordered one without seeing the real item.
Next day she called me to collect the item and it was very cute and nice! Cost only $1.2 more than regular Hot Water Bag! (the retail price of that model is near $4.1 Only).
Now, I took it home, poured some cold water from my fridge and placed my Laptop (HP 240 G2) on it and it worked as magic! No "Unexpected Shutdown for Extreme Heat"!
