ERAZER Defender P10 Laptop FANS ((Yes they are shouting)

[Dobsa]

Hello folks

I'm trying to open my laptop to clean the fans,

I've removed 17 visible screws but can't find the hidden one.

It's supposed to be behind a fan cover, but all covers are part of the case,

none of them can be popped out.

Does anyone know where the screw is hiding ?

All help appreciated 👍

According to the service manual and spare parts list, there is an SD reader cover that needs to be removed. Do you have that too?

Hi @Fishtown 

Did you mean the SD card reader ?

There's no cover over it

The fans are millimetres below the base cover, I'm thinking of using a vacuum cleaner hose,

being careful, see if it makes a difference.

You've gone to a lot of bother for me, Thanks for your help Fishtown 👍
