The laptop is now a doorstop
The internal fan has failed in the laptop. HP apparently does not sell a new replacement part any longer. I have ebay'd a fan, but it is a "new pull", e.g., used. I am not entirely hopeful that I'll be able to return the laptop to service.I now have a litany of complaints about HP/Compaq laptops (both this laptop and my older HP zt3000), which may find their way into a future blog entry, but for now suffice it to say that I do not recommend buying HP/Compaq laptops. They are fragile, have glaring design problems, and when they fail after 15 months you can't buy new HP replacement parts even at exorbitant prices.
