I thought you said it was a laptop? A can of compressed air blown into the air vent while the computer is off should be sufficient. Opening electronic devices typically void the warranty. I don't know if you have warranty but still.

Also, if you open it then you give the person that you might get to fix it an out. They can blame you for the computer being broken and they might also get hung up on whatever possible problems that might arise from opening the case instead of looking for the original problem.

Just sayin, sometimes it is best to leave it closed.
