    I have a slight heat issue with my 6615WD. When I'm using it to surf the internet and stuff like that the temperature is around 60C. When I play games the computer often gets too hot and turns itself off. I would like to clean out the fan and have read the cooling guide. I was wondering if opening up the laptop like that voids the warranty? And if it does, is there an alternate way of cleaning it.

    I'm not sure if the warranty is broken. It depends on the manufacturer. Some will let you open it, and will still honour their warranty, whereas some will not let you do anything to the notebook. I would contact Zepto and ask them personally. I'm sure they will be happy to help you.

    You void the warranty if you open up our laptop and clean it yourself. You can try carefully with compressed air on a can, but as i said be careful as it can break of the fins on the fan if you are not careful.
