My laptop had been producing annoying sounds lately... The sound comes from the left corner of my laptop. and that is where the fan for cooling system located. The sound was like, the grass cutter machine, and it is a pain when hearing it(I guess because I'm the owner of the laptop)... its a notebook by the way :-P
After searching for online manual on how to disassemble, I decided to explore within the laptop. It takes around one hour to get to the fan, because laptop systems are differ from the desktop... I have been careful so that I would not lose any screws... If not I'm screwed. :-P
It was very dusty, the fan was full of dirt and the ventilator is stuck with dust. I cleaned it up, then assemble it back. Assembling it was faster than disassembling it :)
The laptop sounds much better than before, but the heat is still the same. I'm glad that I managed to fix the problem without sending it to the maintenance. Yay!!
Look for the koala :-P

By the way, the model for the notebook is HP Pavillion DV2-1100 series.
