<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">I've 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>
