    So I have a DV9266EU, and it was not part of HPs recent extension of the warranty. I was hoping they could send a replacement, but right now I'm stuck with a laptop without a working WLAN card/PCIe port. And it has got a Turion 2X CPU too, so it runs quite hot. What are the normal temps for this one?

    The computer has been idle for a while and it is currently at 63 degrees. Hrm, that's not much. Strange. I have to say that my room is sort of cold today. Maybe I shouldn't take it apart then, I just think that after almost a year there should be some dust in there and perhaps it would help if I got rid of it. Would it be worth it?

    (I just stressed the CPU with prime95s torture test. Highest temperature: 79. CPU1: 84. CPU2: 80 according to Everest. However I've seen temperatures as high as 85 when it's not this cold in my room.)
