HP Pavilion DV2910US 14.1-inch Laptop (1.83 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5550 Processor, 3 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, DVD Drive, Vista Premium) Black

 
I have this laptop and I must say for an hp it has been relatively problem free. In the 3 years working retail computer repair I have seen many hp’s come into our store with bizarre problems. This laptop has only had 2 in the 5 months I have been using it. First is the issue that you will see all over google known as the “fan problem” or “fan pulse”. The laptop, seemingly for no reason, will start to pulse the cooling fan from high to low for an extended period of time. This happens at random even when the laptop is sitting with no open programs and not being used. HP has issued bios updates but the only thing that this seems to do is turn the fan on constantly, it does not stop the pulsing. The second problem, which has seemed to stop since I am no longer using an hp ac adapter, was a very jumpy non-sensitive mouse. While using the hp ac adapter the mouse would become very jumpy, non-responsive, and lose almost all sensitivity. I have switched to a kensington universal charger and have not had the problem since. Just as a little fyi, the hp ac adapter developed a crack from the intense amount of heat it would generate and partially melted itself, that is why I have stopped using that charger. I have seen my fair share of hp ac adapters melt the wires or melt off inside the laptop.
