Tearing down a Sony Vaio Y 11 inch?

[Deadboy90]

Does anyone know how to do it? It's my girlfriends laptop and she doesnt do anything more intensive than websurfing or playing farmville. Anyway she was seeing temps as high as 70C on her GPU with no vents blocked or nothing. I tried to take it apart to blow out dust and repaste the cpu/gpu but I just cant get the dam thing apart! I am not missing any screws, it's just that the bottom panel wont come off and I dont wanna pull too hard and break her MOBO in half. Can anyone help?

Watch closely and follow this. You'll need a screwdriver.

Honestly, that's not much to worry about for a GPU. A CPU, yes, but GPU's can take higher temps, 70C is hot, but I wouldn't worry about it. Chances are you're not going to be able to do much to help it anyway. Just make sure the CPU isn't getting that hot :lol:
