can i use the laptop if fan has stopped working

[samudragupta]

hi friends my hp dv 6165tx's fan has stopped working. the onsite engineer will visit on monday. however in the mean time i was wondering if i use the laptop for watching some movies is it ok. i will be using it directly under the air conditioner and also have a coolpad. i have a 2 year warranty on it. i was just sceptical if the motherboard or other components dont get fired in the mean time.

Why risk it?

laptop will heat up. cross 100degree and will shut down by itself.

It will gradually heat up even if the laptop is left idle and will shutdown itself after crossing 100c.

Get the fan fixed ASAP.
