It really should not be a problem unless their is very long gameplay. And a (Heat Conducting Pad) could solve the problem. But if the chip is over heating on power up there may be a bad connection. Could also be a poor laser or a Buggy chip? Maybe a switch to shut it off would help?

are switches easy to install?
could you possibly point me to a thread givin a tutorial for installin them?

thanks

don't trap the chip right between board and case - a good place is off to the side, where fan air can blow. this will help overheating
