The same thing happened to me… Luckily it was one of screws on the outer edges of the thermal housing. HP’s screws are such dogshit that they get easily stripped. I tried everything from rubber band to superglue. Eventually I had to drilled the screw head away.

It’s easier not to clean them. I throw down tin foil before I make paninis in my hp laptop, because THAT’S ALL THEY’RE FUCKING GOOD FOR.

Well my HP 250 G5 still somewhat works. The touchpad has serious ghost-touch problems and the housing is falling apart from just 2 disassemblies.

Keeps your house warm in the winter too.

Yep, I replaced the fan after 1,5 (or 1.5) years with a cheap aliexpress one and this one works way better than the original, but it’s still very loud and could be actually used as a heater. Plus I forgot, the DVD drive died last year.
