So, I'm in a pickle :P
(TL;DR, this bitch done broke)

Have an HP laptop I've been using for about two years now, and I've only had minor issues using it between then and recently. A few days ago, the ol bugger froze, followed by a gradually rising temperature near the battery. A few hours of troubleshooting and help searches provide only the anwer along the line of "cooling fan's cluttered or something". Next morning, I break out the screwdrivers, gloves, and rubber-bottom shoes, and get to loosening. Pull off the keyboard and a panel to reveal a vacant space near the battery. It's where the fan should've been...

Assembly managed to forget to put the cooling fan in, and now I've only barely managed to snatch a single file onto my phone, and that's it. Everything else, I'll have to see a technician about. My grandfather's lettin' me use his for the time being. Really blepped for some time.
