    my current laptop surgery experience is unscrewing all the bits around the fans to give them a good wipe from the dust, and replace thermal paste, that sounds like next level!

      If you’ve opened it up enough to get access to the fans then you were most likely like 90% of the way to getting access to the hard drives too. Hell, on every laptop I’ve ever owned, it was actually easier to access the hard drives than the fans.
