Comment 42 for bug 1038479

Many of Toshiba L7XXmodels has a problem with this sound card.(maybe others)
PROBLEM COMES FROM HARDWARE NOT SYSTEM SPECIFIC.
HEATING ISSUE !!!! OVERHEATING !!!!!!
 AFTER 2 year usage of my laptop, cause sound chip to cut off speakers.
I googled, searched and many guys has the same issue like me.
SOLUTION IS SIMPLE,
1. FIND THE LOCATION OF THE SOUND CHIP.
2. PLACE A 1.5 mm COPPER PLATE ON TO THE CHIP.3cm x 4cm and 2mm thickness.
I am not joking guys, believe me there is no another way.We must COOL this ugly sound chip.
NOTICE:Before, My local toshiba supporter tel me that I have to CHANGE MAINBOARD for fixing the problem.AGAIN,THIS IS A
HARDWARE PROBLEM CAUSED BY CONNEXANT SOUND CART
