HP Pavilion 15-au010wm (ENERGY STAR)

Hi, 

My laptop fan was running fast recently after linux boot up and I was considering to change it.

Two days ago after login to linux, fan was running fast then laptop turned off suddenly and burn smell came from fan.

I opened the cover and unmount the fan and smell was coming from it only.

I purchased fan and mount it to laptop.

When I push the power button, it is lit but there is no progress.

 

My battery was already dead and I was using laptop with adapter for 2 years.

I removed battery during fan removal.

 

Would you help me?

Sorry for your problems ... but I don't know what you expect US to do from here for you?

 

From your description, sounds like the processor overheated, not enough to generate a burning smell, but enough to prevent it from running again.

 

About all you can do is take this to a laptop repair facility and pay them to replace the processor -- but there is no guarantee that will fix it.
