what is in the middle compartment mine is missing the thing that's inside it

Blowing air inside is NOT recommended!!! If there is dust in your fan, all the dust will end up inside your computer. Do you really want that?

Good news is that this model only has 4-8 screws to open the whole back side and make the fan accessible. Remove big dust bunnies if present with tweezers and blow air on the rest of it. Make sure you don't actually touch the fan since it can be easily dislodged and you will need a new fan. Hope this helps!

Do you by any chance know how to get to the fan on this model of the Acer AO? I also need to get there and dust out the fan/heat sink, but I can't figure out how to access the fan.

THANK YOU!!!! You don't know how long I've been looking for a video on this for the Acer Aspire One.

what model is your net book cause i have the same one and all it said is that its an aspire one but there are so many of them?

[PortlandDataRecovery]

@Grieldo ALL AspireOne serie Netbooks will be the same. Some might have a bigger back opening, but all you have to do is just unscrew the back and locate the hard
