If you have it on your lap, and put like a tray under it, that helps.

Yeah, it'll be that im sure.
With my laptop its pretty easy to get to. Just a few screws to undo and i can see it.
Good to give it a good clean out every now and then. But only do it if you know where it and you know what you're doing. You don't wanna go breaking the thing!
