Hp Pavilion 17 has no service door

[dentcb]

Hello,

I recently purchased a Pavilion 17-f050nd notebook. It has been operating fine, but recently the cooling fan has started making noise, and I decided to open up the machine and investigate.

I the realised this notebook doesn't have a service door on the back of it, like any other notebook, but rather a flat surface, as can be seen in this image.

I am unsure how to proceed. I have searched for Pavilion 17 disassembly manuals, but have only found manuals for models that do have an access door.

What I am asking for is if anyone can show me how to open up my notebook or if anyone can point me to a correct manual for my notebook model (Pavilion 17-f050nd). 

Any help is appreciated.
