My laptop shuts down and the main fan stops. I am convinced it's dust build up in a void below the heat-sink fins but the heatsink is firmly stuck to the processor. (see link to manual page 8 )

As you can see a step seems to be missing between step 1 and step 2
Step 1 Shows Fig 6 (nothing removed just what screws to remove and socket to unclip)
Step 2 Shows Fig 7 suddenly lifting off the heatsink and exposing the CPU.
Does anyone know the missing step ?
I've read that dental floss slid side to side plus a gentle twist of the heat-sink separates it from the CPU without damaging either. Both surfaces can then be cleaned.

So can anyone confirm this ?
