My personal tip: As you take the unit apart, store the parts aside in the order that you've taken them apart. That way the right parts in order as you put it back together and you kinda know what goes next.

@DeadPea Please don't disable the fan. Permanent more expensive damage likely to occur. I know it sux, but see my post above about board repairs. This video can more or less walk you through pulling the board.

[FMChinski]

Overheat board problems are common. The sophisticated soldering of the chips to the board basically comes loose by melting the solder via the overheat. Search ebay for your board number XXXXXX-001 or very similar. Found on sticker on the mother board. You will find some sellers that reflow/resolder the chipsets with a sophisticated hot air station. Pick a better pro. Costs run $80-$120 or so and it'll be a better connection than new and likely not happen again. Best option for the buck, IMHO

Also factory service manuals for this series and other support here:

Just beware, modern and later model CPU's and the like including this nVidia video chipset run hot and when reassembling the fan/heat sink you'll wanna use a thermal compound, Tutorial: fonerbooks com/r_cpu.htm

@Rolexus100 buy a spray with compressed air in it. It worked for me. But be verry carefull how you spray it!

Thank you very much for this video, it was very helpful! I have a Compaq presario CQ60 laptop (since 3 yrs) and I love it, but there has been a heathproblem since it was new and it getting worse. It turns off itself after a while. Will try to fix it now, there is nothing to lose, coz I cant use it as it is now anyway.
