    So, i'm sitting here with my HP dv5t, and it's making some annoying sound. I've narrowed it down to the heatsink/fan, and i think there's a hair stuck inside it... almost making a crackling sound. So i took out all the screws i can find underneath it...(took all the hatches off and saw the screws there, and under the battery.) but the back of this laptop will not come off.

    so i look up the service manual, and it says i have to take off the cd bay, hard drive, keyboard, top, buttons, and the display to get to the processor/heatsink. is there a better way?
    thanks!
