All but 5 of the keys work on my keyboard. The clip and the ‘tape’ got seperated – but we were able to use a small piece of tape to put them back in place. Hate to buy a new motherboard for 5 keys. Ideas?

Tiiki,

1. My HP Mini 2133 was overheating and fan really noisy. I try to removed and cleaning all over fan, heatsink with a little drop of Arctic Silver 5, then i replace everything back.

2. I started up, everything work fine just for 20 minutes! After that my little fan started to moaning and again overheating!

If the cooling fan makes noise even after cleaning, I guess it’s time to replace the fan with a new one.
Apparently the original fan doesn’t work properly and has to be replaced.

Hello,
Thank you for step guide is really good!

1. My HP Mini 2133 was overheating and fan really noisy. I try to removed and cleaning all over fan, heatsink with a little drop of Arctic Silver 5, then i replace everything back.

2. I started up, everything work fine just for 20 minutes! After that my little fan started to moaning and again overheating!

3. I have done the same as (1) again, and try to do a little more as i have been reading somewhere on internet. I removed the black tape (sorry i really dont know how to call the name) what was wrapped over the Motherboard that i thought might be helpful (i was wrong).

So now extreme hot! I mean almost 100 degree! I know i was wrong to removed the black wrapped…Please help me!

Questions
* Can i run my notebook without black wrapped? If not, can i buy it somewhere and replace it myself?

* How to make the fan less noise and less hot..etc.

Thank you very much for advice!

Nino,

if I order motherboard from ebay or similar, will I be able/is it possible to change motherboard manually (i.e. myself)??

Sure, just download service manual for HP Mini 2100 Notebook series and follow disassembly instructions.
