How do i disconnect my keyboard cable on my acer laptop?

You will have to remove the keyboard, then as you start to lift it up, you will have to reach under and unlatch it, then slide it out of the slot.

Start at step 6 of this guide.

Ok, i did it, i unscrewed the 3 screws on the fans now, it is still stuck? im cleaning it because it overheats

Easiest thing to do is get a can of compressed air and blow it out. There is no reason to take the fan out.

The fan will not come out without disassembling the entire laptop.

Without looking at it physically I can't say why it's stuck.

But I will re-iterate that you don't need to take it out. Get a can of compressed air and blow it out.

Alright, i did that, i reassembled it now. Just blowing it with compressed air will clean all the dust out? I dont know why, it is still getting hot.
Will this cooling pad help?
