Opening a laptop

[Froug]

Currently, I've had my hp-r201tx for about two years. I've wanted to reapply its thermal paste and clean its fans manually, however, I have not found any guides online on this particular laptop. I have tried to open it, but I stopped when the keyboard face wasn't opening "with minimal force" as guides recommend.

 

Should I continue to open it by myself, go to a professional, or leave it as it is?

I would think it opens from the bottom like most laptops. Also there is prob clips around the sides that help keep it together also make sure to unscrew all the screws.

I don't think my laptop opens like that, but what do you mean by clips?

most laptops and phones have plastic clips on the inside to help hold pieces together you have to bend the plastic slightly around them to get them to unclip

Alright, I'll see if that works out.
