    Hi,

    I have a Samsung R60 plus which is running hot so I need to clean out the insides, especially the fan. I don't want to disassemble it more than necessary, especially if this risks snapping the plastic tabs holding the case together. I've seen a video on youtube showing complete disassembly, but what's the minimum I need to take apart to get the job done please?

    I would start by taking out the keyboard to see if that gives access to the fan. However, most likely you will have to get the base off.

    Thanks John. Taking the keyboard off gave some limited access so I went for the full disassemble. With disasterous consequences.
