Agreed


Also agreed. Various YouTube videos on HP dv5 fan cleaning:

What happens is the space between the heat pipe and the fan exhaust
grill gets clogged with cat, dog, carpet, blanket, etc fur or hair.
This is an HP Envy m6 that I repaired:

Note that I had to tear the machine apart completely in order to get
to fan exhaust area. This machine was not designed to be cleaned and
maintained.

This is a Dell Inspiron 1525 which had the same problem:

What's different is that the heat pipe, radiator, fan, and exhaust
ports are all easily accessible through the bottom of the laptop.
