Asus M50vm Heating Issues

Just an FYI here: I have had many computers, laptops and desktops, come across my workbench with this problem of my not being able to blow out all the dust with compressed air. In all of those cases, there were impurities in the dust, namely cigarette tar. In all of those cases, the heatsink had to be removed and washed in hot soapy water, rinsed and dried.

In the case of laptops, this can easily turn into a two- to three-hour job and parts scattered (organized) over a large table.

If what you're dealing with is tar mixed with dust and baked on over time by a warm (and ever getting hotter) heatsink, there is no way you're going to return the laptop to its full cooling capacity short of removing the heatsink and washing it.

 

Alright, thank you so much.
I've tried reading through the user manual and searching online but i couldn't find any guide on how to remove the heatsink from this laptop

 

Pardon me if I missed it; but, what is the make and model of the subject laptop?

 

its an Asus m50vm.
just like the title of this thread.

 

This is all I could find. The only M50 here is in Italian
