I am working on a Toshiba Satellite PSM42U-019006. It is shutting down sporadically. I think the fan on the underneath side stopped working as I can see it is not spinning and I think the system is overheating causing it to shut down.
I never disassembled this particular make/model so I am wondering if anyone knows where I can find a manual or instructions on removing/replacing this fan the easy way? If not I will be doing it the hard way
