    Why do you need a picture of the bottom of the laptop? There are OEM numbers and other numbers/code that are on there. I would not show it or post it on here. I could obscure it but what is the purpose?

    I'm specifically wondering about the size of the intake vent. Looking on hpshopping.com, the pics of the dv2000 show a large rectangular intake vent for cpu cooling. The dv2000t i bought has a smaller one, and i'm wondering if dv2000s were actually designed with such a small intake vent. If so, i'm wondering if that contributes to poor cooling of the fan.

    The intake simply sucks. =P
    It looks like an absurdly tiny less than 1" square. I have no idea what the heck they were thinking but thats how mine is also >_<


    btw, does your COA sticker have a big hole in the middle? It seems strange to have a hole in the middle of it.

    For some reason every single COA on any new computer I see seems to have that hole. I think it's a way to prevent it from being removed easily.

    Its Microsofts way of identifying a geniune product. They call it a "Port-Hole" and perfectly normal to have it. You can get more information from the link below:
