  HP actually did a recall on the entire laptop as part of the 
settlement deal with Nvidia.  If your laptop qualified, you could have 
gotten a Compaq Presario CQ56-115DX as a replacement (although its a 
downgraded IMHO).  They also extended the recall on the batteries... 
Which of course I have replaced mine twice since I bought it 4+ years ago.

  As I said in my other post, installing Windows 7 on it has breathed 
new life into mine.  Its faster and the battery lasts longer.
