    Hi no real help on the web, my M1710 is sounding a little loud and I would like to clean the fans.

    Do I have to remove the keyboard to get at the fans to clean them or do I need to unscrew the back of the laptop?

    Please help guys! :)

    unscrew the panels at the bottom of yur laptop. the keyboard area should be sealed off from yur hardware area.
