Did you clean out between the fins on the heatsink so you can see between them? Also check task manager and make sure your cpu is not maxed out near 100%
Edit: Did you remove heatsink from cpu? if so you will need to clean off and re-apply thermal compound. (plenty of vids on YouTube etc..)
Another thing that wont help is missing rubber feet which raise lappy up to allow air flow.

This is most likely to be a terminal on the DC socket that has come loose and needs re-soldering.

Get it serviced that sounds dangerous.

I would seriously get rid of it mate, HP laptops are renowned for having heat problems, eventually the motherboard will fry!
