How To Clean Vostro 1510 CPU Fan

Hi all,
I have a Dell Vostro 1510 laptop and its fan is making funny noises. so I decided to open it up and clean the cpu fan, but I couldn't find a way to do so. have anyone done this before with Dell laptops?

 

You should have put this in the Dell Vostro forum, you would have gotten more responses there.

Here's a pictorial on how to remove the fan it's easy.

We moved your thread to the Dell section

thank you guys, I'm new to this forum and i couldn't find the Dell section.

 

If it is making funny noises, you might need to replace it if cleaning doesn't help. Give it a shot first though, and see.
