-   I've had the Presario V6030US for about 2 years, it has always seemed to run pretty hot. A few days ago it got really hot and smelled like it was burning. I Shut it down and unplugged it from the outlet, now the computer will turn on for about 5 seconds and immediately shut down, it also smells like it's burning when plugged in. Anyone have a suggestion on a possible fix? I'm hoping I just need a new battery, but don't want to spend the $$ if the laptop is shot.-   jmeender
A lot of HP/Compaq laptops are having similar problems. I'll bet your laptop has an AMD processor, right? If so, there is some sort of power problem where various systems components are not being supplied enough power and various components are failing. Read this:
