Introdução

Over time, dust buildup and degraded thermal paste can cause higher temperatures and reduced performance. This guide walks you through removing the bottom cover, disconnecting the battery, cleaning the cooling system, and reapplying thermal paste.

Note: This guide focuses on fan cleaning and thermal paste replacement only.

Caution: Disassembly involves risk of damage or injury. Proceed carefully and at your own risk.
