    I want to open my case for cleaning. Sometimes I hear a rattling around in the fan.. I think something got sucked inside. Otherwise it runs great.

    Now I know that I can start taking out screws from the back but is there anything special I need to know? I never took a laptop case apart before.

    I know how to protect against static charge and the usual precautions - I have worked on all my desktops for 20 years.

    I just do not want there to be any surprises when I attempt to open this sucker up.
