    Hi @Globster,
    One thing that I have personally found really helpful with this is to use a bed desk. I don't know the specific dimensions on your wheelchair or anything like that, so can't give any recommendations, but they're fairly easy to find online :)

    HELLO. IF YOU CAN HAVE YOUR LAPTOP SERVICED. THE INTERNAL MAY NEED CLEANING (DEPENDING UPON IT AGE).


    I HAVE USED COOLING PADS/MATS WHICH WORK WELL. 

    THE ONLY DOWNSIDE IS THAT SOME OF THEM ARE A BIT NOISY. HAPPY HUNTING!

    Try taping some wooden lolly sticks together and then sit them left and right and simply rest your laptop ontop. This would provide a gap underneath to let air circulate.

    Get a can of compressed air and blow it through the vent holes - try PC World for can
