    Anyone try it yet? I searched, but didn't find anything. I looked at the service manual and it looks to be a chore to get to the cpu. Its like there teasing us by showing the heatsinks, fans and processor under the bottom lid, but removal of the heat sinks looks to be blocked by portion of the laptop frame.

    Envy 1000/1100/1200 or the refreshed envy 2011?

    I own the 1100 and I must say, it's rather easy to repaste.

    Ahh, yea. I forgot to mention what model. The new one, 3xxx series.

    I've seen that the earlier Envy 15s are quite easy. Remove bottom panel and take off heat sink. The 3xxx series looked promising, but on closer inspection, it looks as though the frame is covering up portions of the heat sink, which leads me to believe Ill have to take the whole thing apart just to get to the heat sink.
