My Toshiba laptop is hot at exactly the same place at the bottom of the screen. This is normal. It is the place where the inverter is located which generates the high voltage needed to operate the TFT screen.

Buy a can of compressed air (camera stores stock it) and use that to blow it out.

Don't use a vacuum cleaner....

>> Don't use a vacuum cleaner

Sounds like there is a funny story behind that comment...

Hmm, I would have suggested using a vacuum cleaner, then compressed air.

The mini computer vacuum cleaners are fine - the problem with domestic ones is they're powerful enough to suck the keys off ;)

And if they can do that, there's probably other damage they could do...
