Excellent work. As a former electronic engineer, I have seen some manual instructions that take longer to work out than to do the job in hand.

This guide is how instructions should be composed.

Thank you.

This works for 5560-7402 also. The comment for cleaning the fan by blowing air in is ok if you place a paper clip into the fan to stop the fan from spinning while blowing air in, otherwise you can damage the fan.

Thanks so much for the detailed step by step. My DC power adapter port was all loosey goosey inside and finally even jiggying the power adapter plug around wouldn’t work any longer. I needed to get inside and wire up my adapter directly, this allowed me to do so. I’ve donated a few bucks for your time as you deserve it!

In reply to Rick in Austin. @ Rick in Austin,

I took the computer apart to clean around the fan and heat sink. This required removal of the motherboard.

It's possible to clean up the heatsink without removing the motherboard. When you are at the step 18, you can see the fan. Just blow air into the fan and it should be enough to remove most dust.

Fantastic article, but it stops a little short. I took the computer apart to clean around the fan and heat sink. This required removal of the motherboard. This is where your article ended.

After reassembly, WiFi did not work. I took it apart again and found that the two wires connected to the WiFi card had unplugged when I removed the motherboard. I reconnected and everything worked fine. A picture or mention of those connectors would have been helpful.

Thank you for a fantastic article.

Never mind. I wiggled it forward and back in step 7, and it finally popped free.

On my Acer, for steps 6-8 it seems there are two other latches, one on each side [near the Tab key on the left, near the + key on the right] which are preventing removal of the keyboard. They will not push in. Any suggestions?
