| + | [* black] Since you've come this far, no matter what your reason is for taking your laptop apart, I highly recommend a ***thorough fan cleaning*** which actually requires disassembly of the fan |
|---|---|
| + | [* red] There are ***4 small screws*** holding the top of the fan cover on - Don't be surprised if they are ***very tight***. Just hold the other side of the fan with your other hand so you don't put too much pressure on the motherboard itself. |
| + | [* green] Once these 4 screws are removed, you'll be able to remove the top plate. ***Your work isn't done*** - you'll also notice that there's a piece of ***glued foam*** between the heat sync grille and the fan. Remove it as best you can, or simply ***cut it off*** (won't drastically affect results) |
| + | [* black] You should now be able to pull the grill away from the fan - you'll probably notice a thick rope of dust sandwiched inside the two - ***do your best to remove all of it*** |
