    As the title asks, how do you access the fan on the Gateway Notebook NV55S model.
    It seems that it isn't possible without doing a fair amount of disassembly yourself and Gateway hasn't released the information.
    I've looked at similar NV series models and guides for them but they are structured differently enough that it does not help.
    Has anyone done this before? Are there any guides out there?
    I've done a lot of searching lately and have not been able to find one and I don't really want to go in blind.
    Please and thank you!
    Problem Resolved: Use this service manual if you're having the same trouble finding one for the NV55S.
    They are nearly identical.

    Problem resolved. The guide worked albeit there were a couple more screws here and there and a few more wires to disconnect. Other than that it was completely spot on. I would have liked something a little more extensively elaborative but it shall suffice.
