    55ºC is not so high..and cleaning the fan will definitely reduce the heat. You could think of replacing the current(old) thermal paste with Arctic Silver 5 too. If you do so, make sure you remove the old paste from the cpu and the heatsink.

    Anyway leaving the laptop with the keyboard removed will have minor(or no) effect for cooling..In my opinion..
