I have a HP Pavilion Special Edition Laptop and the touch volume control freezes up my computer all the time, it gets annoying. Does anyone know how to stop it from freezing whenever I want to change the volume on my computer?

i know exactly what the prob is, its the dust and crap in the fan, but how do i go about opening my laptop to clean it, i know to remove the lid on the bottom and all screws, then pop the top of the keyboard off then rmove those screws but now what? i need help. . . the laptop is a Toshiba Satellite a215 s7422, the fans have completly stopped spinning. . . . so it burns the crap outta my leg, and shuts off due to overheating
