The laptop was overheating and shutting down, to the point of not being able to boot up. After my father started to fix it (he procured heat conducting grease, a replacement fan, and HP website directions, plus a hard drive upgrade) but gave it to me to finish taking apart and clean out the fan and heat sink. The replacement fan turned out to be the wrong size and wasn't necessary after all. New grease and cleaning out the fan assembly did the trick! Thanks Dad!
