    When I'm trying to open the bottom of Acer Aspire 4741, I found something wear. I could not find how to open headsink and processor. The bottom only for memory, wifi and hard drive. Should I open from the top to check headsink and processor??

    This is the picture from the bottom of the notebook.

    Why do you want to get to the CPU? Is it overheating?
    If not leave it as it is- curiosity killed a cat and made the warranty void ;)

    Unfortunately this service manual doesn't seem to be available.
    See if 4741 uses a chassis that it has in common with some other notebook- maybe service manual for the other one is somewhere on the net.

    It has same chassis with 4551 but it doesn't available on the net. The acer 4740 must open the top cover and lift the keyboard and mobo to open the headsink. But is has different chassis with 4741. :(
