Safwan43 · November 2022

As stated in the question, I have no idea how to open the front case and clean the fan. The back of is blocked and I don’t know which screws to unscrew. I have read the manuals but they don’t say anything about this. Thanks

Thanks, do you know how to clean the fan in the front of the case?

I’m not sure if it’s possible to clean it just from opening the side panel.

Once you have the side panel off the front bezel is just latched in place. It pops loose and that gives you access to the fan.

I gave it a go, it was a bit hard to get it out but it did come out and I managed to clean the inside. Unfortunately, some of the dust got stuck behind due to the compact case, but I took out some parts and it was fine to clean.
