Anyone know how to open an Aspire 3000 series laptop?

I have reason to suspect my laptop's fan and heatsinks are full of dust, but I can't get at them; the machine is very difficult to open, and some of the screws are covered by the monitor panel. Does anyone know how get at an Aspire 3680's fan?
(The instruction manual, unsurprisingly, is useless on this topic.)

Maybe this will give you a basic impression:

And even if your notebook is an Aspire 3680, you can search the web for "Acer 5580 fan problem".

  • Does anyone know how to open the 24" iMac?

    I have the 2.8Ghz 24" iMac. Does anyone know how to open it?
    Unfortunately the whole thing is screwless.

    FYI, the only Mac you can upgrade the GPU in is the Mac Pro now.
    Those kinds of discoveries are pretty uncommon with Apple stuff. But you could always use a TV tuner (coughelgatocough) as a video input. Might as well use your iMac as a TV that you can actually hook a PS3 up to
    And also if you want to use your iMac (or some PC) as another monitor for another Mac there's ScreenRecycler.

  • .SRW files. Does anyone know how to open these in CS4?

      I've just bought a new Samsung EX 1 partly because it supports RAW format. Now I find I can't open the RAW files in CS4. I have ACR 5.7. As far as I can see I need now, to buy CS5 to support my new camera. I can't afford that option right now.  Is there any other solution? I also can't view thumbnails in Windows Vista Optimum. Can anyone help to solve these issues please?

  • Does anyone know how to open file '.balance' which made from 'Balance' app that I downloaded from App Store and now it's discontinue?

    I have my expense file which made by 'Balance' app. Now I cannot find the app in App Store and cannot open the file.
    If anyone has a way to open the file, please share.

    I thought only IOS app is back up to iTunes. Mac apps are not, am I right?
    I can't find the app anywhere in my system and all the Mac app download websites.
    I really need the data in the file.
    I'm not sure if any other apps can open '.balance' file extension.
    I'm confused. I thought you were talking about this Balance - it is an iOS-only app. If you are talking about some other app, then you will have to look on your Time Machine backup.
    I am quite certain that only that app will be able to open the data.

  • Does anyone know how to open an old AppleWorks document: Address DB.cwk is the name of the document. I've tried Pages, iWork applications, Word and keep getting an error message.

    This is an old file saved from a crashed MacBook and we're trying to figure out if we can get the information from the file - a list of contacts and addresses.
    Appreciate any help you can supply.

    As of Lion (10.7) the PowerPC compatibility "Rosetta" utility is no longer supported by Apple.  So PowerPC programs such as AppleWorks no longer work.
    For old software that will run under 10.7, 10.8 and 10.9 and will read some of the AppleWorks formats see:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23999077?ac_cid=tw123456#23999077
    and
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24000557?ac_cid=tw123456#24000557
    If your Mac came with Snow Leopard or and earlier OS you can run Snow Leopard (10.6) on an external drive or on a partition on your internal drive to continue running PowerPC programs under the Rosetta utility.  Using the Startup Manager http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1310 you would boot Snow Leopard to run the PowerPC applications and then reboot a newer OS (10.7, 10.8 or 10.9) to run normally.
    If you have a newer machine or will be using the PowerPC applications often and you want to run them on Snow Leopard at the same time you run a newer operating system, then you can use a virtual machine such as Parallels, VirtualBox, or VMWare Fusion.  You need the Snow Leopard Server version to use it with a virtual machine (VM).  You need to call Apple to order SL Server.

  • Anyone know how to open a project after going from Trial to full purchase?

    i purchased the full version of Premier Elements 8 and the project I had been working on for weeks just won't open.  It seems like it's there, but nothing happens when I click on the file.  Any ideas?

    Unless the Project file (.PREL) has become corrupted, there should be no reason for a Project, created in the trial, to not Open in the full-paid version. The ONLY difference between the two programs is that trial will embed a watermark on the Exported footage.
    This FAQ Entry will instruct you on changing the Project, to remove that watermark.
    Good luck,
