    The fan won't stop spinning at full speed.

    GPU Temp: 48°C
    Core 1: 41°C
    Core 2: 42°C
    The humidity is 62%
    City Temp: 28-30°C

    I've had this laptop for a few months, the fan's all dusty 'cause my apartment's dusty and I need to know if there's a video or another post that tells you how to take apart some sort of HDX16 or 18. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Go to the site and enter the model number just like you would for downloading drivers. But instead of drivers click on Manuals. There you'll find the service manual. ;)

    I warn you, you're gonna have to take the whole thing apart to get to the fan. So be prepared.
