Over BTV

Hi, I hope you're well.   One of the fans exhausting the laptop tries to spin up, mades a horrible grating sound and stops, I've tried cleaning the fan, disconnecting and reconnecting it but nothing has improved its ability to function.   Does anyone know how I would get a part number for the fan, short of taking apart the whole underside of the laptop?   I'm hoping to to replace the fan but I don't want to remove the fan enclosure if it's going to remove the heat pipes aswell, does anyone have a teardown guide or a schematic(not sure if that's the right word) for the laptop?   I don't have any thermal paste to hand so don't want to get halfway though the process and realise I can't get any further solving the issue, or be stuck unable rebuild the laptop without applying fresh paste.     Thanks in advance. ...
