| 1272900 | 2012-04-30 07:34:00 | Hi there, My Acer Aspire 5741g has started overheating due to the fan stopped working and i only get half an hr max out it. Ive tried to take it apart, removed all the screws that I can see underneath, im actually having difficulty with the keyboard. I am wondering if anyone has experience with this model. From I see there is clips above the F keys but I everytime I push it in or flip it up down it doesnt release. Also, just a stab in the dark, does anyone know any part numbers for this model? |

A simple cartridge filter or access cover would be far too simple, but I suppose they would sell less laptops then. |

| 1272903 | 2012-04-30 09:39:00 | yeah thanks for the replies, I persurvered and managed to get keyboard and everything off, fan wasnt dirty or clogged. Would it just be burnt out perhaps? |

| 1272904 | 2012-04-30 09:40:00 | Similar problem with my HP. There was no dust or anything, just needed a new heatsink/fan assembly. That fixed the problem, but temps still go to around 85deg. | sahilcc7 (15483) | ||

| 1272908 | 2012-05-01 10:20:00 | maybe put some oil on the fan or get a new better one. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1272909 | 2012-05-04 05:32:00 | I had a similar Acer and wanted to disassemble it gracefully for shits and giggles. Ended up smashing the keyboard off in rage because the design is SO ****ING STUIPID. Acer. Not even once. |
