    Is there any way to download detailed schematics of your Compaq laptop?

    I want to see how to remove the CPU/Heatsink fan.

    I was thinking of using artic silver, and making sure it is attached properly.

    I work with Dell’s for a living. And have seen so many desktops/laptops with semi attached heatsinks. I guess just luck of the draw due to automation.
