Wet / greasy area in the laptop?
It is a gaming laptop (Lenovo Legion Y520-15IKBN).
I suspect it has something to do with ventilation. The place in the picture is at the end of the "ventilation shafts". As you can see I have no idea about the whole thing.
Is that a concern? I just wanted to clean the laptop. There's a lot of dust on the spot.
In the second picture I went through with a cotton swab so that you can possibly understand the consistency. (So rather not so easy to blur)
Thank you so much!
Was there smoking nearby?
Yes is not a concern, but I find 1 fan for a gaming laptop much worse, how warm does it get?
Did you smoke nearby or were you in a damp room
A laptop is small, there are rarely as many fans in it as in the PC.
Only one "fan" can be seen in the picture, but it also has a fan.
Some time ago I got some water on it. But that should have been dry for a long time.
It gets quite warm in complex games (GTA 5 for example)
No never. A long time ago there was some water on the keyboard. But should have been dry long ago. Why can that come from smoking?
How warm?
And what hardware?
Has 2 fans, you only see one. But yes, that's right
The smoke also has a small amount of liquid in it. This liquid is only visible when the smoke has condensed. As soon as smoke comes into the laptop and condenses while smoking, the liquid stays in and there are such stains in the laptop.
Is the liquid sticky or not?
Where is the question about heat and what does the hardware have to do with it?
I just mean…
Only with complex "scenes" or processes. But can be due to the hardware;
- Intel i5 7th generation
- Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti
- 8GB RAM

It is so little that I can hardly say it. But I would say that it sticks minimally, yes. The laptop is already 3 years old, maybe someone else spilled something on it. I don't know anything about that
If it sticks even slightly, then it can't be water or something else must have spilled over it if it was not smoked.
If so, is it not a problem I think? I don't like copying this thing down to look under it, would you recommend doing it anyway?
If it hasn't hurt so far, nothing will happen now.
I also have a gamming notebook from HP with the 1050 ti but with an i5-8300H 45Watt and 65 watt (GPU) even if the processor boosts with 67 watts my notebook only comes to 83 degrees
How warm does yours actually get?
Thought it might slow him down or something. As I said, I know little about it 😂 Thanks for your help
I honestly don't know. Can I have a hard look now, the thing is open in front of me 😂 I'll have a look later. But I can't imagine that it will be much hotter than 90 degrees. But that doesn't tell me whether it's good or bad, to be honest
So high temps are long lasting
But the dampness could be that you maybe spewed something or tipped on it
Yes, I just found out. There's a mini stain of what juice-like… Must have been someone from my family. Remove and is good?
But you can't do much more than clean against the high temp. Set it again to later
YES remove it and then everything fits
But afterwards, if it is closed, run the Hhomework MONnitor Fur amrkl and superposition benchmark so that you can see if everything is working and how warm it is
Alright, I'll do that.
If it is greasy, it can only be oil from the fan bearings ^^
You're welcome
It should be this place. So on the CPU.
I also have no idea how it got there. I can't rule out the effects of heat at this point. Try to remove the fibers.
