good video! i finally got the fan cleaned and i also found out that earlier i had no idea that you have to do it that way, i had tryed terrible wrong ..

[@afterburner3999]

great for the ppl who have no idea how to do it. The keybord cable is tricky and you can seperate the connector that holds it but its not broken you just need to figure out how to put the black plastic clamp piece back together and its simple but if you have not done it b4 it can take hours to figure out, dont attempt it if you dont know anything or will need someone to fix it 4u. you didnt clean the fan and that was the title of the vid.

[@loveredlips]

how are u getting the keyboard off, I can't seem to get mine off, you make it look so easy

[@howfixit]

to remove keyboard you need to move plastik locks and then hook keyboard up. If all locks will be unlocked then the keyboard will lift.

[@cryptoigamingisport3214]

i AGREE IS ABSOULTELY IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE PLASTIK LOCKS.
