Followup:
Well, I finally went and got one of those “under the laptop” can cooling units. It’s been working fine….computer doesn’t shut down so I gather that it’s keeping it cool enough. It was a bummer when I opened up the thing and replaced the internal fan and then it didn’t work…..but this will keep me going until I decide to get something else.

Spadge,

Does anyone know if there is a way of getting to the fans without having to disembowel the whole thing?

There is no way.

P205-S6327:

AC adapter and battery lights OK. Push power button lights
the “On” indicator, but nothing on screen, only disk activity
is the CDROM init (couple flickers). No beeps or blink codes
on lights.

Same on AC only or battery only.

Press-hold power button powers off.

Tried reseating and replacing memory.

Does not light the Satellite logo or wireless indicator.

I’m leaning towards disassembly to reseat CPU.
Any other ideas/tricks?

Thanks.

I’ve been using it with the bottom propped up and a portable fan blowing thru/by it, but you’re right that I don’t know how much air those “coolpad fans” move.

silvernblack,

I think I’ll go buy one of them “under the laptop” fan units. I really just use it on a desk anyway.

I really doubt that the cooling pad will help. I don’t think that it can keep the CPU cool enough.
