Re: Laptop Coolers for HP Pavilion DV9207US
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. | |

| 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. | |
