Can you please help me or give me a manual on how to disassemble my hp m4-1001tx laptop? There is a huge amount of dust building up inside my laptop. My laptop is overheating even on minimal usage. Idle temperatures on CPU and GPU is 70-90C.

Hello Lemon_Dyn,

 

If your laptop is so dirty you need to open it, here is the Maintenance and Service Guide.

You will primarily be looking to pull the fan out and also clear the heatsink fins on page 52.

I will add, do so at your own risk if you have never done such a thing. You have to tear down the laptop quite a bit to get to the fan.
