Cleaning the fans

Hi, I have an Alienware R2 15 laptop and I have used it for about 2 years and I wanted to clean the fans but I am afraid that I will damage my laptop if I open it. Should I do it?

    To do a really thorough job of it, the laptop has to be opened up. You could get some of it with compressed air but disassembly is the only complete way. If that seems a little intimidating, let a professional tech handle it at your local computer shop that you trust.
