My laptop has a tendency to have it's fan going like an airplane all the time. Simple flash games can raise my core temperature through the roof. It will often (every couple of days) it likes to heat up so much that it shuts down, even while just browsing on the internet. I've read some things online and this seems to be a fairly common problem in the F700 series. I've had this laptop for about a year and I think that cleaning is overdue. Does anyone have a tutorial for opening up a laptop of close to the same model? I don't want to screw anything up. Thanks.

Also, are there any other ways to solve this problem aside from cooling pads?

Normally just getting a can of compressed air and blowing out the vents will work well enough for most people; opening it up can be a pain and more effort than its worth.

Best way to crack it open is find the service manual.
