A HP Compaq laptop only starts after 6+ hours of pause, and then runs for about 5 mins and shuts itself down.<br />
After that, any attempt to open it will result in the fan starting to spin, power led lights green then immediately turns off, after which the battery light turns orange, after which the laptop turns off.<br />
What I done so far:<br />
- cleaned the laptop from dust<br />
- replaced the thermal paste (with arctic silver 5)<br />
- cleaned the fan<br />
- tried running the laptop with no memory or hard disk<br />
- tried running with no battery (directly connected to the outlet)<br />
- reset the bios<br />
<br />
Everything leads to the same result.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

HP laptop fails to start

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

A personal computer is a general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities and price make it useful for individuals, and is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer time-sharing models that allowed systems to be used by many people, usually at the same time. Personal computers may be connected to a local area network (LAN), either by a cable or a wireless connection, and through that to the Internet. A personal computer may be a laptop computer or a desktop computer running an operating system such as Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS.
