    Does anyone know how to get the case open so I can check the fan? It's making a real racket. Removed all obvious screws - must have missed a hidden one somewhere. Any tips or pointers to a service manual much appreciated.

    Total is 15 screws. If you get less, you need to find some covered screws.
    3 covered under palmrest.
    1 is covered by rubber foot, near right hinge.
    1 is covered by battery (silver)
    1 is under memory cover.
    All others you can see them.
