*** First, that's "really loud". "Real" does not mean "very". Sorry,
it's a pet grammar peeve of mine. (-:


I too, own a Pavilion and have had the same problem. Sometimes, the fan
runs properly; other times not. Last week, I took it to my local laptop
repair centre and they replaced the fan. I imagine the bearings were
going. Given the heat generated within laptop computers, I suggest that
you also have the fan replaced.

As for opening it up yourself, sorry I cannot help you there. I shy
away from working internally on laptops. I'd suggest that you ask your
local repair centre for a guesstimate on fan replacement, or at least
request the cost of a fan if you decide to do the work yourself.

*** Thanks. I wish more had your attitude. Illiteracy is on the rise in
first-world countries and it annoys me to no end.

*** You're welcome. They should be able to give you a verbal ballpark
figure without charging a diagnostic fee. From there you can decide if you
want to enter it for service or tackle it yourself.

I have not used my laptop since it was repaired but will be on the
road on Thursday. I'll see then if it runs any cooler with the new fan.

Best of luck with your Pavilion!
