just wanted to say, thank you for that awesome guide... i was really nervous to open it up and break something, but i finally got around to do it and when i had to get out the keyboard, i freaked out because the white thing under the keyboard, where all the buttons are kinda displayed, was only glued very loosely to the KB itself and it hung off the top... the audio plug on the other hand, had no problem with it. just go very carefully and slowly it'll eventually pop off. i continued and didnt see only minor dust in the fanst, still cleaned it with a brush ( no canned air available ). i then reassembled the laptop, put the kb back in and booted the laptop. voila, windows booted perfectly, KB was workein perfectly eventhough i really thought i had destoryed it beyond repair... so guys, if you take out the Keyboard and the white underlay thing beneath the KB comes off a bit, just try to press it against the KB again when you put everything back again.
tl;dr: disassembly went great, thought i ed up but didnt, guide is awesome !
temps before idle were : ~75°C, load ~ 85°C up to 102°C
temps now : idle ~65°C, load ~75-83°C.... not perfect, gotta repaste probably, but i got away from the 100°C mark... thanks again OP
Edit: scratch that... all the same again. just gotta repaste welp...
