As for your laptop overheating - Get yourself a can of compressed air and clean the dust out of it. I took mine apart last week and gave the fan a good cleaning out. All my overheating issues are gone, and it purrs quietly like new again.
I downloaded the service manual for my Dell laptop from their website, had all the instructions necessary to remove the keyboard and screen etc.
yeah well this laptop is totalyy fubar. i donnu how many times i opened, cleaned and whatsoever it. i just think after the summer i will let go of it and get me a new one. man this shitmaschine is already 3 years old and did some got parties with me…
Edit: I realise this doesn’t mean there’s never gonna be a firmware update. But I was so hooked on the idea of being able to accurately use the pitch faders on my VCI.
