Yes, laptop screws are typically sealed to prevent dirt and moisture from entering.

I’ve cleaned and replaced the thermal paste on your Lenovo Legion 5 Impressive 5, but I don’t know how to access the fans from the heatsink. You have two hours before your cat comes, so you’ll need a quick solution. If you can, someone could guide you through opening it safely. Thank you!

Use compressed air to move the blades; the photo suggests minimal dust to clean.

I took out the exterior, but the interior remains chaotic! You can clearly spot the dust trapped between the heatsink and the fan.

You can use a dry toothbrush or similar tools if you don’t have compressed air. Alternatively, you might ask someone else to help.

The issue is it can't go that far inside.

Consider using a fan blade rotation direction to assist

Sorry about that, it seems the fan screws are stuck, but I appreciate the help!

It depends on your choice. You could open the screws, possibly cancel the warranty, and clean the fan without taking them off, or you might buy a replacement fan if one is still in stock. Good luck!
