Cleaning...
After using the notebook a lot, you will notice it becomes more noisy. I even experienced a slowdown while executing cpu stressing tasks.
The problem is the dust that enters in the notebook, slowly blocking air intakes. this increases cpu temperature and force the fan to work a lot more.
Then i decided to clean the cpu fan: here's the report
Be warned: i take NO RESPONSABILITY for anything you will do with your notebook following my instructions. I mean, I own this notebook and that's what i did. Nothing else. No warranty of any type. You're on your own.
All you need is a screw-driver and ten minutes of your precious time.
- remove the five screws indicated in image (numbers are for reference only, they don't represent an order) and remove the monitor cover. (shot)
- unscrews these other four screws but be careful since they hold the monitor. Keep it with your hand. (shot)
- remove the highlighted cover. no screws. (shot)
- remove the highlighted cover. still no screws. (shot)
- you missed the screws? here are some more :) they lock the keyboard. (shot)
- since the keyboard is connected to the motherboard -see the red rectangle- my suggestion is to avoid removing it (it's difficult to reconnect), just overturn it on the notebook. (shot)
- remove this little cover (shot)
- now take up the fan -note that is connected with a power cable- (shot)
- well done. remove the last cover (watch out: the 7th screw is a bit hidden) (shot)
- finish! now take out all the dust you can ;) (shot)
