I have a HP Pavilion Notebook, how would I clean the dust off the motor?

Question

I hear the computer struggeling to keep cool more now than a year ago, it has never been cleaned in two years.

How would I take it apart to dust it w/o messing anything up? Do I just unscrew one screw and clean it that way or take it completely apart.....?

What is recommended?

Answer 1

i take it you have a bummed cooling fan then?

don't worry about taking the fan apart, but take the laptop apart until you can see the fan.
get a can of air and dust whatever you can inside the laptop (if you can see the fan, you can probibally see the rest of the laptop innards too) remember to clean your computer out at LEAST every other month.

P.S. if your fan is making a grinding noise, it's time to get another one.
