Guide to opening up a G2?

My gpu (8600m GT) is 88C idle and quickly reaches 110C under load so after trying everything under the sun (downclocking, coolers, fans, Lemmings guide on how to improve airflow (which actually raised the temp by a couple of degrees...) etc..) my one remaining option is to open the thing up to see if there's something wrong with the cooling system and replace the thermal paste. I'm a bit worried, though.. I'm reasonably technical and handy but I have never opened a laptop before and wonder if anyone knows of a guide of some sort regarding how its done, preferably with pictures, to be found on the net? Even if it's not a G2 I guess any guide will provide some help, so please, if anyone knows of some thread, article or wharever that might help, give me a link!

Well..it's finally done! It was a bit fiddly but no major problems. Anyway, I've never removed a gpu cooler (not even on a desktop card..) but I have some experience in cpu:s and went about it in the same way as when replacing a cpu or cpu cooler. The cooler on the G2 were firmly screwed in place and visually I couldn't find anything wrong with the way it was put together, but I removed the cooler, cleaned both the chip and cooler surfaces with alcohol, applied a small string of mx-2 and put it all back together. The result? Well... I know it will take some time for the mx-2 to take full effect but so far I'm really disappointed.. My idle temp dropped from 87-88C to 82-83C (still much too hot..) and when playing my alarm (I have realtemp set to warn as the temperature exceeds 105C) still goes off within minutes and the darn thing throttles... So while being an improvement it was no cure so I guess I'm running out of options.. Asus here in sweden won't sell me a new motherboard (which would set me back about €350...or 500US).. They'll fix it for me, but since warranty expired a month ago the cost would be considerably higher than the €350 it would cost to fix it myself.. I've red a lot about faulty 8600mGT chips with my exact symptoms (overheating to the point of throttling) and figure mine is one of those chips but since I installed a game for the first time after the warranty had expired I hadn't noticed the problem... A bit pissed at asus.. Mine is clearly a non functioning chip and it problably has been since day one..so some sort of help from asus was expected. No such luck, though...

Thanks! I didn't know those things exsisted... I've tried more conventional laptop coolers and my son even put the G2 on a solid slab of ice from the freezer with little to no impact on gpu temp... I have also tried fans pushing cool air directly at the computer with no result but I'm a bit puzzled as to how the cooling system is designed.. Obviously there is an outlet but as far as I can see theres no intake..so the single fan pushes the hot air but with no cool air coming in I can't for the life of me see how the kind of performance components (relatively speaking..) that make up a G2s can be suffiecently cooled using that sort of system... All G2:s do not overheat so it must be enough for healthy components and a quiet computer is indeed preferable to a noisy one... When buying a performance laptop sufficent cooling seems even more important, though..
The kind of usb fan you point me towards..well, if they don't cost a fortune I'll give it try but I feel it ends after that. There is no need to work hard and spend money just to end up frustrated and since my eldest son seems uninterested in getting a scooter (which I had hoped... Not having to drive him to activities every single day was a nice thought..) a replacement laptop just might be within budget.. Since he's a "gamer" performance is everything but I will definetly investigate the cooling solution aswell as hardware specifikations...
And other brands than Asus... I like the look and feel of asus and the price/spec ratio is better than most..but the support needs..eeh.."tuning".. When calling as the owner of a "high end" product one expects a certain degree of technical aid regardless of warranty, not just a cold "-Well, if you don't have warranty there's nothing I can do for you".. Well, bitching about it won't solve anything so...
Once again "qhn" helps out.. Thanks!
