Why does the keyboard and/or palm rest get warm?
Typically, the Joybook Lite tends to be warm slightly. The
location of the hard disk is typically underneath the keyboard or
the palm rest and as a result, the keyboard and/or the palm rest
get warm. The location of the processor is typically underneath
the keyboard. And since the heat rises, the keyboard may get
warm slightly. Since your Joybook Lite has a thermally
controlled fan, when the CPU and/or internal temperature of
the Joybook Lite reaches a certain temperature level, the fan is
turned ON and stays ON until the temperature drops to a pre-
defined level.
