Solved! Opening asus n551jx Fan (how to open the fan it self to add lub)

[Hanipk]

Hello.
Recently my laptop's fan started to sound loud and after awhile it got slower !
So i decided to take it out and add lub so it will be good like before .
But i got stuck on how to open the fan itself !?
It doesn't have any screws ! Only plastic pins that hold the part together !!
Check the pic if you don't know what i'm talking about :

You can't really open the fan itself. And adding lubrication isn't really what one would need. It needs to be cleaned out of any junk (debris, dust, etc.) and then you may want to replace any thermal paste. Additionally make sure that anywhere inside is free of dust and debris. If this doesn't resolve it, then you likely need to replace the fan.

you can open it. If you cut the plastic black dots. Use glue when finished cleaning

Cutting it open is not a wise thing to do.

Thank you for replaying.
Thanks for the idea but what kind of glue should i use (it should be a glue that can stick fine when temp goes up )
I could really use a suggestion !

Thankyou for your quick and useful respond.

so i opened the fan by slowly and gently pushing the pins .
and as far as i didn't break any pins i could close the fan

but i had another problem !!!

the fan blades wouldn't come off so i used a precision contact cleaner lubricant
and after spinning it a few times . the fan got free and it was not slow and stuck anymore.

btw thank you all for your helping . i really appreciate your help .
Good Luck .
