Ahh...well, with todays safety systems in place, you'd be hard pressed to fry something...iden135 said:
About all you could do is physical damage.
But since you posted, I must ask...why?
Is this for insurance fraud??!?!!?

I would put a needle in the fan vent hole to, #1 by keeping it in place, possibly burn out the motor, and #2 keep any air moving though.
As for how to generate heat. Download CPU-Burn or CPU Toast, run two if single core, three if dual core. And set the laptop on a bed or comforter to insulate the bottom
That should generate A LOT of heat... If any luck something will go bad.
I know this because I ran heat gen tests on a friend of mine's laptop in the same situation (we didn't lock up his fan though) and it burned up his laptop, accidently though.

Yeah, just call Toshiba, get one of their laptops and BAM, it will overheat with NO MODS!! (sorry, mine is in the shop for the fifth time now)...WonderingSoul said:I would put a needle in the fan vent hole to, #1 by keeping it in place, possibly burn out the motor, and #2 keep any air moving though.

You could short it out by forcing higher than spec voltage through the unit. (IE: 12v on a 5v line)

What ever the reason I'm sure it's not a good one! Do what I did with one of my old Dells, with the laptop running leave it flat on the couch and go away for an hour!! I forgot about it and when I picked it up there was a black screen!! Dead!!! That was the infamous Dell 5150 though, I could actually heat my house with that thing!

I can't think of one good reason why you would want. Sounds fishy to me.

something fishy going on here. there is no legit reason someone would want to kill their laptop.
i think the suggestions should stop, and maybe this thread shut down? i'll leave that up to the powers that be mind you.

I quite agree and find the poster is trying to commit fraud of some sort with a warranty claim - this is my hunch.hUMANbEATbOX said:
