Hello, I was wandering how do you access the Fan and GPU on The laptop. I can reach over to the Graphics Card only if I hold the thing open with force. My fan is god awful loud and needs to be cleaned. I have been able to access the RAM, HDDs, and (some) of the motherboard but since I'm a gamer, I need to get to the fan since it hasn't been cleaned since December. So it's probably packed with dust.

I'm sorry but what do you mean by remove enclosure? Do you mean the area that is blocking those parts?
And by unclip do you mean removing the screen from the pc? :(

Yeah, I would have no idea how to do this. The best I've been able to do is be able (With force) To pry open the to panels between the keyboard and bottom. There I Found my GPU, Which was a start by my fan is loud as holy hell. I think by tuesday I can get some Pictures of my Laptop. Pryed open. and shots of the fan. Also, I was able to find out why the two panels couldn't seperate, it was because 2 screws have the secured on each side. I found that removing the optical drive was able to give access to 2 on one side. But sadly are not the same side as the fan. Also I was only able to get one of the screws out on that side for some reason. Anyways, I will have pictures by tuesday. Thanks.
