    Hey guys--my fan is not working which is resulting in my laptop overheating and shutting down continuously.

    I want to disassemble it to see if the fan perhaps became detached (I have 4 kids so it gets roughed up from time to time) or if there is another easy fix.

    I have tried to disassemble the laptop--I have removed every imaginable screw but it is still "stuck". I have searched for Youtube vids, etc. but none seem quite right in terms of how this laptop was build. Can anybody help?

    I think with the age of that laptop finding a manual to take apart the laptop will be hard to find I didn't find any listing for it to take apart?
