Last Thursday I did a clean install on my sony vaio E series due to High CPU temperature. But re-installing did'nt help lowering the temperature. My CPU temp still 65c to 75c on idle (Air conditioned room).
Now I decided to dismantle it and do a cleaning on CPU fan and re-applying thermal paste. The problem was I don't know how to do it.
Anyone knows a good site/tutorial on how to dismantle it?
If you've never done this before, the hardest part is getting the right screws back in the right place. A digital camera can help as well as making a diagram of the laptop and placing the removed screws in their respective places on the diagram.
The key is patience and paying attention to details.
