I did not find a manual for this model either, and it was really hard to find out how to get into it.
Finally i found a small hole just below the left screen hinge. Press the "button" inside that hole with a small screwdriver and slide the top of the keyboard cover to the left - and then you can start removing the screws under the keyboard. Combined with all the screws under the laptop it will get you in

PS I have some pics as well, but this forum doesnt seem to allow to post pics. PM me if you are interested... |
Update:
A lot of people seems to be interested in how to get into the notebook, so i will post the instruction + pics here now
(Wonder why this is the case just about 3 years after purchase !? . . . )
To open it up, unscrew all screws underneath, then insert a paper clip or similar into the small hole above the keyboard (see pic) and slide panel to the left. After that you can remove 4-5 screws which holds it together. Then you will in the laptop and canstart removing everything to get to the bottom where the fan is.
