How to clean the CPU fan of my Acer Aspire 7745G

Hi!

 

I'm sensing i'm starting to get some heat issues with my Acer Aspire 7745G, and now i want to clean the cpu fan.

The problem is that i can't seem to get to the CPU itself, on my previous laptops it's been only to open the big cover on the back on the laptop and clean.  But here the CPU is under the main part of the covers, so took out all the screws and wanted to open it all up, but some parts won't open up.  

 

Do i have to take out the motherboard and everything just to get to the cpu? any hidden ninja tricks to do this?  

 

Thanks

Can you load up a pic? If this machine is anything like the 75xx, you would just need to wiggle the heat sink down and toward the middle in order to lift it up.

cheers ...
