Once you work out how to open it (should be able to google that), blow it out with a can of air (best not to use air from a compressor unless you have a good dryer and filter) aiming to remove any gunk or dust that can be seen.  Laptops (like keyboards and phones) tend to pick up a lot of stuff off your fingers.  This oily residue can be easily removed with isopropyl alcohol and a clean wipe or q-tip; apply the alcohol to the wipe or q-tip, not directly to the component being cleaned.  Do not use water.

 

Best results will be had with a complete disassembly.  How comfortable you are with this will depend on how good of instructions you find and your own personal experience.  Take a picture of every step of the disassembly so you know how it all goes back together.

try to find its service manual or search on youtube first, because laptops usually have very tricky clips and screw that you might overlook.
