HP Mini-Note motherboard failure rate?

[debjax]

My mini-note died in September '09, 3 months out of warranty. I had always kept it on a cooling fan since it would get so hot. HP has acknowledged that there is a problem with the model...but will not do anything about it....after 10 years as a very loyal HP customer (4 laptops, 3 printers, 2 desktops) I have now gone to Dell for future purchases.

my mini-note works fine more than one year, quite enough for the guarantee to expire...
I can´t change my mother because it cost the same as a new mini-note. I have to sell the parts separately.

Hi folks.

My 2133 has been dead for 6 months and yesterday I tried the "OVEN TRICK".... I just wrote about it here: Fixed my 2133!

I just found a new motherboard online for $70 (bought pn: 482277-001), installed it in about an hour and now my hp 2133 mini-note works perfect again. The $70 was well worth not having to buy a whole new netbook.

Good Luck!

My HP mininote 2133 motherboard just died on monday this week and nothing came as symptom in the beginning.

This is my worst experience, first I chosen and used 'other branded' laptop for almost ten year then changed to HP for the same quality reason.
Unfortunately less than two year my HP is died.

I am not decide yet to replace the motherboard that cost near buy a new one.
