Guys you must blow the fan every time you see it dirty. If is already giving you problems, the video chip got loose . It need to be resolder. About $100.

@lanoviadeoscar did you buy it directly from the factory? If so i would send it back. It should still be under warranty or at the lease contact HP. if they even help. My laptop is actually running very cool now. The screen is still messed up. I completely took it apart and cleaned the fan and heatsink assembly. It found some good build up of dust. Yours shouldn't be that bad giving its only 4 months old, unless you work in a very dusty environment. But it could be software issues as well

ya i used compressed air to blow out the dust occasionally.. it does build up.. im sure that there are people who don't encounter this problem.. but there are a lot who do and it shouldn't be that way.. i went ahead and ordered a new inverter and flex cable from ebay.. hopefully that works..

I have the white dv4 model and the only problem I have is the noisy fan at times...but i have this guy i know who works on computers and he says that it is a common problem in laptops especially smaller ones like ours due to space. He also says that they need cleaning out 6 months out of the box also bcuz they get clogged with dust that fast...as far as your screen i have no idea...I never had that problem and i had mine since fall of 09....
