    Hello everybody!

    I have an Acer Aspire 3023WLMI. I want to change thermal paste on the processor but I don't know how to take of the notebook cover.

    Please help, if someone knows how to manage this task.
    (Or maybe someone has a sevice manual???)
    I would be very grateful for all advices.

    Thanks in advance.

    i dont think it whould be very wise to open the cover... you will lose the warranty. btw, how you know that it needs new paste?

    if it is under warranty DEFINITELY do not remove the cover.

    Also, you may have a problem getting the cooler off the fan to put paste on it. You may well damage the heatpipe. Better left to Acer.

    Hey Sirpeter,

    Go to http://doube.net/3023wlmi.html#bluetooth and there is some useful info on how to remove the cover, altough it's about installing Linux.
    I do not take any responsibilties for any actions taken nor for damages occured during your installation

    Cheers
    Marcin
