I have an 2010 Aspire Windows 7 Starter Laptop. I need to clean my cooling fan but after taking off two sections I see only computer components and silver disc looking thing. I do see 9 screws that are on the outer part of the laptop, is this what I take off to find the fan? Will air blasting clean it ok? I hear my fan crumbling so I' sure it needs cleaning..and not new fan? Are used fans, if need one, hard to find and where. Easy to put on?..and how?
Thanks ahead of time.

What model number is your Aspire laptop? It should say it on a sticker, the box that it came in, the receipt from the store, a label on it, or the manual that came with it. For me to give you an intelligent and well thought out answer to provide for you step by step instructions, I would need at least that much information to better help you. Thanks.
