    Hi Guys thanks for having me and i have a question.
    I have two usb ports on the right hand side thats broke (ive done loads of diagnostics and software work rounds so its definately hardware). I would like to resolder them if i see the ports need to be resoldered.
    My question is is there a walkthrough on disassembly of this laptop??
    I also would like to clean the fans as it gets hot and i think it needs a good overhall ... i am quite techy and i could take it apart if need be as ive done other laptops like installed webcam and put on a new screen .. so im not frightened to get stuck in.
    I would prefer the walkthrough though best be safe than sorry. I know it is discontinued model but i love this laptop an would like to try and fix it.

    Thanx
