Dust, dirt, pet hair, and other particles can accumulate on or inside the notebook, causing scratches or overheating. Extend the life of your notebook by removing potentially damaging buildup on a regular basis.

Unfortunately I struggle to find the answer, how to get access to the inside of that notebook.

At the bottom of the laptop are 4 screws. I can remove them.
I don't know, what to do next.

Where are the Vents hiding, how to to access them.

Thanks for your help.

I am already aware of

Hi:

Below is the link to the service manual for the model series which may be of help to you:

Chapter 6 has the procedure for removing the bottom cover.

There are additional screws hidden underneath the rubber foot strips.

I managed to get it open. Less dusty than expected, but dusty enough at the fan.
Weather cleaning reduces the noise is pending to find out.
Running the laptop vertical is probably not healthy.
I shutdown until after the cleaning.

Glad you were able to get the bottom cover off.

While you're in there, you should replace the 2.5" mechanical hard drive with a better performing 2.5" SATA solid state drive (SSD).

The performance will be improved considerably.
