cooler master notepal x2 disassembly

[malaquias9999]

Hi, i need to disassemble (or at least open the case) of my notepal x2 cooler so i can properly clean the fan, but after removing the 6 (visible) screws from the bottom of the case it still wont budge. There are no instructions about it on the manual, and their customer service never answered me back (its been almost 2 weeks since i asked them about it), so if anyone here knows how to open/disassemble that model i would really appreciate any help possible. Thanks in advance.

Pry it open with a screwdriver if you've got all the screws out. But it might be glued together.

Can you blow it out with compressed air?

Thanks for the quick reply, i tried that but i didnt apply much force so i wouldn't brake anything, so it's possible that it might be glued, although with other cooler master models the case could be removed just by taking the screws out, so i supposed it would be the same with this one too. The compressed air helps but the fan has accumulated so much dust (i have this one for about a year now) that it needs a thorough cleaning to remove it all.

If it was me, I'd persist with the compressed air. Depends on how much a replacement costs though.

There are actually 12 screws you need to remove before you can open the case.

*(This picture isn't mine), but I went ahead and highlighted the screws for you.
The four on the bottom are actually hidden under the "sticky pads."
They're easy to remove and replace so just gently peel them off if you want to reuse them.
There is no glue keeping the pieces together like some people have suggested.
