| 1188752 | 2011-03-23 21:52:00 | Hi all, Have an HP Pavilion dv5. My friend wanted me to rebuild it for her. During the factory restore, the unit powered off and the case was extremely hot! So obviously a thermal issue. So i've dissmantled this beast and apart from a small about of dust, the fan and heat sink seem in pretty good condition. I'll lube the fan but is there anything else I can do to try and resolve the overheating issue or is this a known problem with this model? The CPU has thermal pads, do these "dry out"? Can you remove this and use thermal grease? Cheers. ;) |

| 1188759 | 2011-03-24 02:21:00 | Not good if it does as those are known to overheat and die. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 1188760 | 2011-03-24 03:46:00 | Did you have it sitting on a tablecloth or bed etc? Nope. Was sitting on a coffee table with a glass top. Not good if it does as those are known to overheat and die. Yea. Are those the models that you started to accumulate on your shelf at work? |

| 1188761 | 2011-03-24 03:51:00 | Yea. Are those the models that you started to accumulate on your shelf at work? Yep plus many other models like the dv3000, dv6000 and many more. There is a way to fix them but most people opt to buy a new machine instead. |
