    Hello...I have a vaio VGN-FW21E. Recently the fan started to work harder and it's a bit noisier, so i decided to clean it. I unscrewed all the screws, dismantled the HDD and the memory, but i couldn't take off the cover of the laptop to clean the fan as i did with my other laptop(lenovo).Could you please post a tutorial for vaio vgn-fw21e fan cleaning or tell me how to take off the cover?
    Thank you
