I am having some problems with the cooling fan. This is my second HP laptop and I know that on my last one the cooling fan was an issue, and so it arises again. Currently it works, but it sounds loud and like its really struggling. I also got the message "the system has detected that a cooling fan is not operating correctly. Continued operation would not be recommended at this time... may cause unpredictable behavior that could result in random shut down, data loss or possible system damage".
I've read things about dust removal and I feel like that is only a temporary solution and I want to look into getting a new fan and motor, but I am nervous about what happens if I purchase one online that ends up not being compatible. I have the HP pavilion Dv6 but am not sure which one it is when I look up cooling fans. I purchased it in 2012 so its an "older" model by computer standards. Any help here would be much appreciated...
