    So, my wife's Dell 1558 is making a funny, high pitched sound, coming from the fan underneath. She's tried to use canned air to clean it out, but alas, cannot get it. There's a clump of hair and dirt in it and it's slowing down the fan.

    She undid all the screws on the bottom, but neither one of us can figure out how to get the plastic covering to come off to access the fan. Any help? Videos?
