    My friend has a Toshiba Satellite A70 which keeps shutting down after some minutes of use, most probably due to overheating. I want to clean the fan and heatsink, but I can't find a good instruction with clear pictures online. Can someone post a link to disassembling an A70?

    Thanks

    God, I already did that, and the sentence "I can't find good instructions with clear pictures online" pertains to irisvista.com as well. I mean, it's my friends laptop, and i want more than just:
    Turn the computer right side up.
    Remove the Wi-Fi cable from the route.
    Disconnect the LCD cable on system board.
    Remove two screws securing the hinges.

    I remember hte instructions for my HP ZT3000 was very very specific, down to the very last detail.

    Well I doubt you will be able to get better instructions than that.
