HP Pavilion dv9030ea

My laptop was affected by this. It uses Nvidia GPU+Turion. HP did extend warranty for certain models/serial number range and they have fixed this for free (although I specifically asked about extended warranty for this model and I doubt I would get it otherwise)

What I have noticed is motherboard revision changed after laptop was returned to me. Original laptop used Apollo rev1 (which I guess is mobo code-name?) the new one had rev5
