Re: Laptop Coolers for HP Pavilion DV9207US in Road Warriors, Notebooks & Distance http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20306041 en Thu, 21 Aug 2008 08:08:59 EDT Thu, 21 Aug 2008 08:08:59 EDT Re: Laptop Coolers for HP Pavilion DV9207US http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20311168 Stiofan : Ya, covering it the blanket will fry it regardless of brand. I leave mine on for 8-10 hours a day, as I've sold my desktops and it's all I have left for work. The cooler is cheap insurance, and certainly won't hurt. When I travel I don't take it (cooler) with me, but don't run the lappy for extended periods either.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20311168 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 21:43:09 EDT Re: Laptop Coolers for HP Pavilion DV9207US http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20310886 Liquid_Man : First off, thanks for the suggestion everyone. I bought the Laptop as a gift for my niece, it's been a year and I'd to repair it two times for her.

First time I'd had to reinstall the OS, not sure what the problem is. The second it was the video card and I'd to send it in to HP; they had to replace the whole motherboard. I was lucky because it occured at the beginning of march and the warranty expired on 3/22/08.

Her parents told me that she leaves the laptop on 24/7, covers it with the blanket when she sleeps, etc etc. I don't know about the quality of HP products, but of course she had contributed to the damage.

Anyway, I'd got the Laptop back a couple weeks ago. Haven't used it much due to work, but everything seems fine. Install Windows XP just this past weekend (couldn't get used to Vista) and I'm very happy with it. Now I'm thinking about a laptop cooler to protect it, still haven't decided which brand to purchase.

I plan to give my niece the old desktop I'm using now, it's a dell dimension 4600. I purchased this back in 2003 and it still runs perfectly, had to replace the hard drive once 3 years ago. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20310886 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 20:52:00 EDT Re: Laptop Coolers for HP Pavilion DV9207US http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20307567 PeteC2 :

No offense punker, but that was not the OP's question at all, not to mention not being an accurate statement. Also, Stiofan is quite aware that Compaq is now a brand name under HP.

You said: "there coolers are about the size of an motherborad chipset cooler"...er no, that was not what the OP was asking about either.

Liquid_Man already owns a HP, for better or worse, the question was about laptop "coolers" that one puts under a laptop to draw excess heat away, and whether they were effective, or a waste of money.

BTW Liquid_Man, my take on it is not far off from Stiofan's...if I ran my notebook for long periods of time, I would probably use one, they do somewhat help...but in my case, my HP dv6625us actually runs fairly cool, and I do not leave it on unattended for hours on end, so I have not used one with it...but, I do not think that it is an unwise purchase. For around $20, for notebooks, that are somewhat prone to heating issues, it is a cheap enough price for a little "insurance".

Most HP motherboards crack after one year. I guess I missed that on all the tech news sites. My Compaq must be the lone exception.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20306258 Wed, 09 Apr 2008 01:21:22 EDT Re: Laptop Coolers for HP Pavilion DV9207US http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20306041 punker :

Hello,

Can anyone recommend me a laptop cooler for HP Pavilion DV9207US (17' widescreen). How effective are they, or is it just a waste of money? Any suggestions greatly appreciated, thanks.

Using it on a 3 year old Compaq, and I've never had an overheating problem. I've been using it for a year or so, and the laptop will stay on all day without heat buildup.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20297020 Mon, 07 Apr 2008 13:42:32 EDT Laptop Coolers for HP Pavilion DV9207US http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20293604 Liquid_Man : Hello,
