Hey guys - I purchased a laptop from HP (only because my dad works there) right before my sophmore year (July 0f 2006). On labor day of this year, I took the computer to a repair shop in a neighboring town because the fan blew out - the fan is only 3 years old, which is fairly young for it to overheat. The guys at the shop said that some fans just blow out after awhile and that I had an unlucky fan. I replaced the fan but it cost $350.
Right before halloween I went back to the shop because my screen was flickering - then my whole motherboard crashed! I didn't drop or spill any liquid on the laptop, it just randomly died.
This is the point where the repairs cost so much that it is cheaper to just buy a new box-
Is it common for motherboards to crash after only a few years? The guys at the shop think I have a faulty computer because of these past issues.
Anybody else have these problems with an HP Dv laptop?
