Ok, so my laptop ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/v2a47w6qkeboo8b/Screenshot_2016-03-12-10-32-16.jpg?dl=0 )<screenshot of all it's technical details only thing different is i have win10.... couple days ago the what i now pin pointed is the fan started making a slight ruttering noise occasionally. i opened it up blew the entire gut clean there's no debris or dust in there at all i didn't see anything loose or dirty, I'm not familiar with how insides of laptops look but.
1)the fan looked like plastic when it gets weak like that iconic white mark you see when u bend a plastic on the under side of the fan its still smooth looking but its not black like the rest of the fan on the very tip of its edges along the length of its blades.
2) the backing of the laptop on the inside looked like heat was i don't know traveling away from what i think is the motherboard (the giant green circuit chip? ) leaving like a tarnished heat spread on the laptop backing on the inside.
3) there appeared to be some sort of copper finisher on some parts of the insides backing but doesn't look like it was needed seeing as though it looked like it was done by spray paint just for looks and finally.
4) the copper coil? that leads to and from the fan and such seems tarnished a bit like someone took a knife to it i rubbed my hand over it to feel it and it felt literally like every other copper pipes I've touched.
So With all that being said there's no drops in how the laptop works it doesn't slow down or anything and today it started buzzing like game controller feedback i shut the laptop off and stuck it in front of a window ac unit it felt like it needed it and i was as scared as a baby in the woods lol. Please help i don't want my laptop to become trash and I'm at a lost of info on parts and such i don't want to pay a fortune on some guy that's probably gonna just replace the fan and send me home. Im a smart cookie so if i get some solid answers and directions I'm sure I could do whatever is needed on my own please and thank you. DANG also I've had it for about 9 months and i only started gaming on it recently.
but more often then i should i have always forgot to turn the pc off before i sleep. Sorry for long post and weird spacing and such i wanted to cover all details and i didn't want to half post a thought by accident.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Check here...
otherwise if you have the fan out go to eBay and match the HP part number to find a replacement there to fix the bad fan.
