The fans on both of my HP Compaq 610s are constantly on and the base is fairly hot and I don't know if this is standard issue. HP assures me that this is unusual and that I should return them as DOA.
Because both laptops have this problem, I'm thinking that this might be a design flaw rather than a one-off problem.
I've updated the BIOS and using their recommended power settings.
Am I missing something? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
