    Hello.
    I know this isn't exactly modding, but since opening up a laptop is not considered conventional for many of the models even today, I figured that if anybody would be able to help me, it would be modders :)
    My question is simple: How do I open up my Laptop in order to clean the dust out of it? I have it for over a year now,
    and because I live in a dusty place, my computer is filled with dust, which makes it harder for it to keep cool, thus making
    it shutdown on me. I know it's because of the heat because I tested it myself. Please advise.

    Gunblade.........Chances are it won't have ANY dust in it. Every desktop computer I've worked on has had a considerable amount of dust and hair in it that I've had to remove. However......every laptop I've opened up to work on, has been clean inside. And I've worked on some real relics. LOL Laptop fans are pretty lame, and I guess thats why they don't get dusty inside. Not a whole lot of air movement. If you insist on opening it up to have a look though, Go to the Toshiba site, and see if they have instructions on disassembling the case. You need to be REAL familiar and delicate with opening up laptops. I've had to fix way too many of them that people have tried to open up, and tore apart delicate ribbon cables, and broke pieces of the case and stuff. I will tell you this.......with the correct instruction, laptops open up easily. And NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING on them, needs to be "pried" to open them up !!
