Next: Touchpad Problems (Dell Latitude C610) - PLEASE HELP!!
From: Ebermensch on 1 Feb 2005 09:47
I have an ACi laptop, bought in the UK. It's very similar to this one:
http://margo.student.utwente.nl/simon/ongoing/jade8060.php
which the site says is a compal ACL10 clone. Mine says ACL10 underneath,
too.

Anyway, from time to time the fan makes a noise like a diesel powered drill,
so I want to 1) clean it and 2) find the part number and size with a view to
finding a replacement.

Anybody know how to get the case open? I've removed all the screws from
underneath and along the back, the front part raises out maybe an inch, but
I can feel it's attached somewhere about half to two thirds of the way back.
Is there a secret/magic screw somewhere?

I doubt the vendor will be much use (their site is down now) as they never
have been before.

Hi there

Try here http://tuxmobil.org/disassembly_laptop.html I don't see your
model listed but you may get enough info from one of the others.
Worked for my Vaio which insn't listed either.

Cheers

Steve
