My Aspire 5570 2758 laptop gets real hot and the fan inside doesn't seem to be working. How do I get to the fan to see what the problem is? I've taken the screws off the back but can't get the case open to access the fan.

- I appreciate the info but I'll probably have to take it to someone to fix. The problem I'm having is that I can't get the case open to access the fan. I removed all the screws but the case won't come apart. I'm fairly computer savvy (I've worked on quite a few desktops over the years) but there is something I'm not seeing that is causing the case not to come apart.
When the fan stops you might be able to get some more life out of it with a good blast of compressed air. However, it is best to replace it because it is a critical component.
Taking apart a notebook is particularly challenging.
I recommend that you have a professional take care of this problem.
Aspire should have service center information on their website.
Okay, so you still want to do this yourself...
Use a digital camera and take a picture each time you remove a screw or part of the notebook.
Use a piece of paper and put your screws on it. Write the location that you removed the screw from on the paper next to it. This is a "screw map".
Try your best to find a diagram of your notebook on the Internet. You may not need it but it will sure makes things easier.
Search the Internet for a replacement fan. Ebay is a good source for notebook parts.
Make sure that you remove battery, AC adapter and hard drive first.
Set aside 3 or more hours and go for it. Be very, very patient. You can't be too careful.
Good Luck!

Thank you for the info. If I could get the case apart, I'd try it.
