    Hello,

    I wanted to open my ACER Aspire 5536 but discovered that I do not have the right tools.

    What tools do I need to take this notebook apart?

    I have a 34 piece general purpose screwdriver set but it the PH0 screw is too short as some screws are quite deep. I also have a longer precision screwdrivers but I do not get enough grip to loosen the screws.

    Please advise me on the right screwdrivers that are long enough but still provide enough grip so that I can open the screws.

    BTW: I am UK based.

    Many thanks!

    PS: The whole reason for my undertaking is that the fan has become very audible and is running constantly. I therefore wanted to see whether I can lubricate it or at least give it a good clean. Unfortunately, it is not directly accessible so that I will have to take the whole under-body off.

    Any recommendations for this manoeuvre are also highly welcome.
