Hi, I have Toshiba Satellite M55-S1001 laptop and the fan is making a bit of a humming noise and slight grind sound, it's working I can feel breeze. I'm concerned the fan is failing.
I can almost get at the fan, see attached image, it's under keyboard but part of the fan mount is under the plastic of the interior of the case (upper left question mark) AND there's some mounting thingy (lower right question mark) I don't know what to do with.
I found web page on how to take apart this laptop, hard drive, memory, dvd/cd and to take off keyboard but it stops there.
Anyone have any experience with getting fans out OR know of a better web site that shows how to disassemble better?
