Taking apart and re-applying paste to a Gateway NV52
So I want to disassemble (and hopefully re-assemble) a Gateway NV52. I've worked with Desktops, but never laptops. I was wondering if you could help me with the following.
-
Where can I find a guide to disassembling a Gateway NV52. I know there was a site posted a few weeks/months ago, but I can't seem to locate it.
-
Any tips, tricks, or warnings you would like to give me.
My goal is to remove and re-apply some thermal paste as well as clean the inside. My laptop is running dangerously hot (90 C on any type of video, 70 C normal) and I would like to try and figure out why.
Thanks
Edit: I found the site, but it does not have a service manual for an NV52.
