    Hi Guys,
    I have an Asus NV51 model notebook and it is over-heating. I believe this is due to fluff blocking the fan intake.

    So where can I find dis assembly assistance to access the fan?
    (It is NOT in warranty.)

    Any pointers appreciated.

    Murray

    You can access the fan from the bottom cover, remove few screws and you will see the fan with the heatsink:

    Thank you. And I take it that it is removable too from there.

    I will get on to it Monday. :)

    Yes it's removable and make sure re-apply thermal paste.
