Hey does anyone of you have the IBM Thinkpad A20p maintenance manual? Or do you have a general idea of how to get to the CPU cooler? I am very sure it needs cleaning as the laptop keeps rebooting after it runs hot...

Thank you!

Where can I find replacement screws for the Thinkpad A20p?
I also need some recommendation for screwdrivers for laptop repair.

Thank you in advance!

edit:
The laptop is finally open, I hope cleaning everything and replacing the heatsink compound will fix the problems 😀
