No, one of the hinges that attach the screen to the base comes adrift and jams the cooling fan. The chap I went to for a repair had NINE in his workshop. Some had partially melted  eeek:

HP was once a good name in laptops.  I've had to change the fan twice in the last one I bought and won't be buying HP again

Weird that, different makes work for different people.  I just LOVE Canon for cameras but the Canon printer I got work to buy was so shite I'd never touch one again.

The HP 3100 printer we bought for bugger all yonks ago still works brilliantly but it's not an Air printer so has sadly been relegated by another HP which is doing very well

But HP laptops went downhill when they bought Compaq.  Effin fans and what is the most laborius thing to change on an HP laptop?  The soddin CPU fan
