Disassembling Laptop

[draiklord]

So recently my laptop has been overheating quite a bit, where just running on idle, it could go up to 90 C for it's GPU temperature. My laptop is a HP HDX18t, and I've been hoping to clean out it's fan recently. I don't have a tool where I can blow compressed air, so I was wondering, if I was to take the laptop apart, how would I do it?

I have looked at the HP service manual, but it seems that it only has guides for replacement, and no where does it state the procedures for taking apart a laptop for the purpose of cleaning.

Any tips?

you might search google for and exploded view of you laptop. Take a look at the bottom of your laptop there are screws around the bottom to take out. You will have to remove your ram and hd also. Good luck.

Okay, and my HD won't reset when I remove it right? Will anything be lost or reset after I remove components of my laptop and then reinsert it back in?
