a hp pavillion dv1000 (says on screen) / dv1410 (on bottom sticker)....then fan on the bottom of the laptop is starting to make a noise, kind of like when a baseball card is stuck on a bike wheel.
well before you do that... is it under waranty? b/c if you open it up, it might void the warranty... try calling tech support and see if they will fix it for free.
Probably a good shake could jar it loose or something, lol. In a way, I hate laptops because it's a bit harder to work and not much you can do in the upgrade department, but at the same time, it's so convienent having a PC on the go. I use it for class everyday instead of having to go to a dedicated computer lab on campus. Plus, I have wi-fi setup on it so I can use broadband Internet anywhere on campus!!!!
