    i have an alienware m5500 and would like to know how to open it and clean up the inside...

    and what type of screws should i buy to replace those that have fell out?

    and what type of parts i can buy to make it better

    like how much ram can it hold?

    my brother gave it to me and he doesn't have the manual so i don't know much about this and the one thats online for teh m5500 (the manual i mean) the pc itself looks weird...doesn't even look like the one i have

    the screws have fallen out
    it overheats
    the fan needs cleaning somehow
    inside might need cleaning also
