N5010 Overheating alot
I never noticed this problem before, because as soon as I got my laptop, I also got a Cooler pad and had it on it pretty much always.
But a few weeks ago when I brought it with me somewhere, I had no Cooler pad and noticed that it's fan does not do it's job very good. Particularly, I feel absolutely NO air flow from the left-side vent even when my laptop feels like burning.
Is there any way I can see if my fan is actually okay? Or is this a known problem and I should go to the service?

I also have had the message about PC was overheating and shut itself down. After some research on Dell website, I found this was happening on Dell PC's with bios A01 thru A02. I have Dell Vostro A860 with Bios A02, Vista SP/2. I did find some info about the error message M1004, as follows:
Dell M1004 error message removal A01
This utility will clear the error #m1004 message.
When I chose to download the file, I received message :
Sorry, an error occurred while processing your request
I have tried several times with same result. Also have problem with streaming movies which are perfect for about 10 minutes, then starts with echos, stuttering, static and feezes. I wonder if that is caused by the same error.
