I took apart my hp compaq persario cq60 to clean fan

Remove the battery before you plug in the charger/adapter and see what it will do. It can't recognize a battery mode if there is no battery. Maybe the charger you are using is not appropriate: different voltage, wrong polarity, the tip is not in contact with the plug terminals, or the circuit is not closed to allow the passage of current.
Rocketfish, Targus , and a few others, manufacture universal chargers that work with may laptop makes and models.

Usually a laptop overheats due to dust blocking the Fan, vents, heatsink or improper air flow, due to obstructing the vents, fan , etc. Use a Can of Compressed Air directed into the fan, vents. Hopefully you don't need to replace the Thermal Paste on the CPU/GPU , and opening the Laptop to thoroughly clean with Air and a small brush. A laptop Cooler is a option. Use this as a guide, HP Support: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/ProductList.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&taskId=135&prodTypeId=321957&prodSeriesId=3768152 AND: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmR5v-yM9z8 Use ESD protection, take your time, take pictures or video to refer to. Mind the tint screws.

Does your fan run normally, or is it always running at full power? There are a few things you can do to improve the performance.

First, make sure that the laptop is placed on a flat, hard surface. If you are using your lap or a bed, loose clothing or bedsheet may block the vents. Blocking a vent can cause a laptop to overheat quickly.

Second, try cleaning the fan. This may require full dissasembly of the laptop. (Find a link to a PDF of the Service Manual for your laptop for full instructions on how to do this, as you must take it apart from the top down. Use Google or the HP website.) Use tweezers to pull out any hair, lint, or debris clogging the fan. DO NOT try to turn the fan blades, the fan motor is fragile and prone to damage.

Third, you can buy an external cooler for your laptop.

If all of the above fails, you may need to replace the internal fan of your notebook.

Good luck!

If you take laptop apart, replace the fan. Usually, when the fan keeps making noise after cleaning, it means that the bearings in the fan are shot.

Use the table of contents to skip to where it shows you how to start disassembling it. Be sure you organize and label all of your screws accordingly so that when you have to put it back together, you dont have extra ones.

Page 160 is when it gets into disassembling the fan.

Be careful!! Take your time.
