[SOLVED] Slime stuck in Laptop Air Vents

[thegodsyt1]

Hi. I've encountered a problem with my laptop. It shuts down automatically without warning, and has recently become slow.It also has been getting a BSOD "WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR" every few months or so. I suspect that the fan is the problem because about a month ago, i accidentally put my laptop on the table with exposed slime on the surface. it blocked all the vent with intake and outtake air vents. I removed the cover and successfully got the slime out by lightly yanking the plastic
with a small screwdriver where the air passed through from the fan. However, I could not remove the slime from the cover. It was so hard it felt like potato chips. Any tips on how I could get rid of the slime? I'm 10 years old so because try to simplify your answer with as less wacky abbreviations.

Test the extracted slime with alcohol to see if it can be dissolved or softened.
You could try other solvents but they could leave residue that you do not want.
