    Hello...I have an Asus N73SV laptop and was wondering the best way to get to my fan so I can clear all the dust away? Can I access it from under the keyboard? My old laptop which was an Acer was really easy to get to.Thanks.

    If possible, you can very carefully open the chassis and with a can of compressed air, you can blow this out and clean it.

    You'll have open your laptop from the bottom. Nothing complicated really. unscrew the bottom and you'll see the fan.
