Breeyon,

I had to do this some months back to replace a fan that had gone all
noisy. The only way I got through it was to download a service manual
for my particular laptop from some page online (mine is a dv9000). I
can tell you that there were so many layered, interconnecting things
in the laptop, that trying to disassemble and reassemble without the
instructions would have been horrifying. As it was, following the
instructions, I had to almost completely disassemble the laptop to get
the fan and heatsink out and replace it. Not for the faint of heart -
and pay careful attention as you go, perhaps even taking digital snaps
as you go - otherwise you'll end up with 'extra' screws, etc. when
you're all done.

Good luck
