Grab a can of compressed air and blow out the vents.

Are you getting any display at all though? The pavilion's are know for having problems with dry solder joints on their video chips.

I have clean one of those of laptop not so long ago for my mate. When you strip your did you clean and change thermal paste for CPU and GPU as from factory they did a poor job of applying it. If you didnt you have to as your laptop will die from overheating sooner or later.
