I have the HP Pavillion dv7-1264nr. I am assuming since I don’t see it on the list above that it is not on the recall, but I wanted to double check anyway. I purchased it in April, 2009. If it is on the recall, please notify me. Thank you, Sheryl

I have an HP Pavillion dv6748….and when I use it for only half hour, it gets extremely hot…I also did not see unless it is part of the dv6700 series. Please notify me as I did receive an email about the recall but when I took my laptop to BestBuy they didn't know anything about it…go figure!!
