    I want to clean my laptop's fan and also replace thermal paste. However all the videos I saw show entire disassembly. I don't know why, but I can't seem to find any tutorials/guides which does not follow entire disassembly.

    Cos in 2011, I had my laptop serviced under warranty. When technician had come to my home, he did not remove palm rest at all and did not remove the screen also. I don't remember exact procedure though.

    appreciate any help. Thank you :)
