My neighbor's 4760 has been shutting down unexpectedly and I believe it's due to overheating. Before he sends it back for repairs while it's still under warranty, we'd like to give the fans a good internal cleaning to see if that fixes things. I looked around the forums but I couldn't find the link to the service manual that Clevo used to post. Does anyone happen to know where I could find that manual? When I tried to take the machine apart without it, I couldn't get under the keyboard or get the entire bottom off (I could get it to come up in certain places but it seemed like I was missing some screws).
Also, if he turns the laptop on its side for a while, it cools down from better air circulation. But leaving the system on during the night sitting on the desk (with nothing blocking the fans) will result in a shut down about 60% of the time. The 4760 has a pretty low clearance, so it's probably partly the fault of the design, but it used to work ok.
Thanks.
