    So I got this laptop new off Ebay a few days ago. Been playing Diablo 3 nonstop for a day. Has worked great. Then I decide to reformat it to get rid of all the bloatware. I went into bios and changed it so it would boot from a usb stick. after i saved and exit the computer rebooted but now it can't boot. It turns on and you see the blinking line for a second and then the line freezes and stays there. Anybody know how to reset the bios on this thing? Is there a disassemble manual so I can get to the CMOS battery?

    Well I fixed the problem. Took out the memory and switched the positions of each module and now the laptop boots and works great again. But now it seems after playing games for a while the GPU gets really hot...92 degrees. I'm thinking about repasting the heatsink/fans, but I am pretty lost on how to open this thing up. I tried unscrewing every screw top and bottom I could see, and tried unhinging the case but it seems there is something I am missing cause i can't get the case to come apart fully. Anybody know how to take this thing apart? Or know how to take apart a model similar to this one? My acer is the 5755g-6841. Any help is appreciated.
