    Hey guys. My laptop has some definite overheating issues. The CPU (w/integrated GPU) has gone up to 90C. I bought some Arctic Silver 5 and I want to replace the crappy ceramic compound used by Acer (from what I hear). I'm having problems opening up the backplate and revealing the heatsink and CPU.

    Help? Thanks in advance.

    Edit: I am trying to access the heatink and CPU only. I don't wan't to disassemble the entire laptop. However, if there is no other way, then it's fine.
