replaced the thermal compound on 2 friends' laptops recently
when they were experiencing similar symptoms. I googled
videos first for the exact model and 'replace thermal
compound' and bought a small tube of compound off ebay. The
worst aspect is getting all the screws out. You have to
scrape the old compound off carefully and don't use a metal
edge for this - cut up an old plectrum, or in my case, and
old credit card. Clean the fan with a soft brush gently as
well as the fan exhaust. </div>

I've found the best way to get rid of the old thermal compound is
nail varnish remover and cotton buds. Dust can be removed with a
compressed air can, which should be available from your local
computer dealer (please buy from independents if possible).<br>
