    I have a HP Pavilion laptop which has begun to make absurd amounts of noise which I suspect is from my fan. The noise is getting worse and I really want to get in there and fix it, but I don't want to start ripping my computer apart w/o some directions. Are there any online instructions on how to break down my computer? I've tried quite a few searches but have come up empty handed every time. Thanks.

    Your manual will have instructions as to what screws to remove, etc. Get it online at hp's site if you don't have it.
