I've had my R2 for five months now and absolutely love it. I have read a few post on this site that have suggested cleaning the fans/vents after a few months. I however am completely at a loss as to how to do this. I am comfortable with disassembling my laptop and have already purchased a can of compressed air. I tried reading the owners manual on the dell site but got a bit intimidated since it seemed to tell me that I'll have to dissemble and remove quite a few pieces to get to the fans themselves. Is complete disassemble necessary or did I misunderstand the directions? Any feedback and help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

It is a complete disassembly to reach the fans

But for cleaning with compressed air, its more than enough to remove the back cover.
