Replacing cooling fan in ACER ASPIRE 362...

On most laptops you have to remove the keyboard first. Is there a strip right above the keyboard that pops up? If so, it will give you access to the keyboard mounthing screws.

Since I have dismatle dan assemble the 3620 several time, I should be able to assist you on the method of replacing the fan.
From above
1) 0 screw to unscrew. remove the top cover (with the on button) and carefull not to pull all the way out to avoid broken cable.
2) 1 screw to unscrew the switch button circuit.
3) 1 screw to unscrew. remove the keyboard and wires connecting to the touchpad and LED panel.
Turn Over the laptop
4) 2 screw to removed underneath the LCD hinges
5) 1 screw to remove the optical drive. use paper clip to push into a hole by the side of the optical drive (intended to take out any cd when power off)
6) 3 screw to remove the harddisk cover.
7) 2 screw to remove the harddisk.
8) 2 chrome screw underneah the location of the harddisk.
9) 5~7 small screw to remove the wireless and ram cover
10) remove the cable connecting to the wireless card
Turn Over and from above
11) 2 screw to unscrew to the holder of the LCD hinges.
12) remove both VGA cable and 2 wireless cable/ariel.
13) take out the LCD display.
Turn over the laptop
14) unscrew visible screw from each hole underneath the notebook.
Turn over the laptop
15) the mainboard must be taken out from the casing in such as way that the VGA port would be stationary but the speaker side of the mainboard is taken out first. but press the PCMCIA stick inside to avoid it from obstructing.
16) you should be able to see the fan and the connector.
Good luck

at both hinges,behind screen,remove the screw & then lay monitor flat . The top part will pop up now by gently prying up at each end.There you find screws to remove keyboard& under that 3 more screws.
