My 
Dell Inspiron E1505 is overheating – blistering hot near the left-side speaker (directly under my left wrist). Anyone have this same problem? I’m worried – it’s making a faint odor similar to the smell my childhood TYCO race cars made when we cranked their engines.
Somehow, I don’t think that my computer and childhood electric race cars should have the same performance quality . . .

Hope you filed the warrantee card.
Chris,
Dell has recalled some batteries for this model (and others). There is information at http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dsn/en/document?c=us&dl=false&l=en&s=gen&docid=22C59239C7E8B9A8E040A68F5B282D12
