    I found mention of a guide on how to open up this model of laptop but the link is dead now.

    I want to open mine up to clean her up of dust but cant find any documentation.

    Any help would be great.

    Quite difficult. It is possible but it'll take a lot of time; on the Z70 there's an easy access panel to the CPU+fan, but on the M6BNe it doesn't exist, and that means in order to reach the fan you need to remove everything (almost). I tried, but gave it up and ended up instead cleaning the fan from above, using cotton swabs (without removal).

    I have the manual, email me at EMAIL REMOVED, and I will send it to you.

    Yep, that's a more complete version than what I had downloaded.

    Indeed it is quite tough to get to the CPU compartment, especially if it's your first time trying this sort of thing... just keep all of the screws organized and be ready to apply more pressure than you think you have to.
