Hi @shaikhjassim

Here's a video that will help. It shows how to open the laptop to gain access to the fans.

Important!

Keep several jars or containers to hold the screws as you remove them from the laptop, so they don't disappear from the workbench. If any seem to be of a different size note where they belong so as to minimize any problems when you go to reinsert them at the end of the job

Ensure that you disconnect the battery cable from the motherboard (see 0:39- 0:45 seconds into the video)as soon as you can access the battery cable after opening the laptop, before commencing any further work in the laptop.

You do not have to remove the battery. Simple disconnect it.

There is always power somewhere on the motherboard, even when the laptop is off. The power button is not a power isolating button. Think of the laptop as being in an extremely low power state when it is off, and not that it is totally disconnected from any power.

Also wear a wrist strap (example only) connected to a suitable earth point as well.

Doing all of the above will minimize the chances of causing an electrical problem or an ESD problem in the laptop during the cleaning process and a reassembly problem at the end. Mechanical damage is another matter e.g. tools slipping etc. Be careful and take your time.

Use a small brush to gently brush the accumulated dust from the fans and use a vacuum cleaner to collect it all up.

When you are satisfied that the fans are as clean as you can make them, ensure that everything looks OK and then reconnect the battery and close the laptop.

Final thing is how old is the laptop as it seems a very new release? If it is <12 months be aware that opening the laptop may void the manufacturer's warranty. just something to think about if this is applicable in your situation
