This is all well and good, but your original problem sounded like
overheating. Have you tried getting the fans blown out with compressed
air? A can of compressed air is surprisingly expensive (for stuff that
surrounds us all the time) but it is way cheaper than a new laptop.
The dust is minor. It looks like the video chip fan had stopped working.
'HP'-local has it for servicing now: $80 just to look :-/
I tried opening it up. After c20 screws & still no budging of the case
base, I passed it on to those who understand laptop construction better
than I (& have a supply of proprietary parts).
