Re: Reballing does NOT mean it'll last long!
the DV5 is a nice laptop. They had one in that series that suffered from a bad power management IC but overall the GPU seemed to hold up well. You usually see more of this problem when the GPU is coupled with a terribly inefficient CPU and then they both share the same terribly inefficient heatsink. However, I'm now seeing netbooks with Intel GMA with the same problem. A friend of mine blames it all on adobe flash. You leave one of these websites up all day with flash ads all over it and your poor notebook will cry out for help.
