Hi there, and welcome to Helpowl, I look forward to assisting you today with your question and providing the best answer possible.

You should not have to disassemble the laptop to clean the fan and heatsink, see this: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01657439

Here's your manual: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01860375.pdf

Go to the "Removal and replacement procedures" section to disassemble.
