u can download the manual frm hp.com.

some laptops are hard to open whilst some are easy. don't force urself if u cant manage to open ur laptop, one piece rosak u will regret.

haha, wait till u try to open presario v3000

i see so many mainstream laptop, their design looks good, but to open up and take out the fan to clean is actually very hard, not maintenance friendly at all

now using sager np8662, reaching the fan is never a problem for me, take out the heatsink and everything is just as simple as a desktop one

what you want me to share?

today i just dissemble my NP8662, i failed to take out the heatsink, dont know how to take out the part that stick to the GPU there

both are not my picture, but is similar to mine

if you can figure out how to take out the larger heatsink on the 2nd pic, do tell me, i've take out all the 6 screw at there but still no hope, i scare i will tear the card to 2 pieces if use too much force.

i use high pressure CDA (clean dry air) to clean my lappies.

the one at the top right side of the picture, with the X pattern aluminium securing it

since the heatsink are join together as one, so need to take out the fan and the two side first, but somehow cant take out the GPU part.

people who use sager is rare, people who use the same model as mine is even more rare

they wont teach you how to take out the heatsink, only teach out how to open the cover and clean the fan, i believe every laptop manufacturer will do the same

maybe he wants to reapply thermal paste? use Tuniq MX-3? or Arctic Silver 5? LoL

for fun

i want to take out the heatsink, and clean since i spot some dust inside, and if possible polish it to become mirror shine

follow the basic rules and you will be fine, at least all the time

1. no water
2. no electrostatic
4. observe the inside surrounding
3. be gentle

sometime too gentle then cant do anything, at first i wanna use more force to pull it out, but then i see there is a connector there, so sayang sayang slowly put it back
