Hi Seven Gurus, having problems w/ my 4 yr old laptop computer shuts down after powered on 2-3 minutes, have eliminated HDD & RAM as possible culprits (reseated both & swapped out both HDD & RAM...same result) Tried blowing out the dust bunnies... same result... don't feel hot air blowing out side vent.

I've found these links online for replacement Fan/Heatsink but am concerned about vendors being trustworthy.

Just ordered the part from the E-Bay link above seller had very high marks. Now I hope it's just the fan/sink needs replacing...
