You just start at the bottom and remove screws. Be delicate, careful and keep all parts separately. Don't open it up if you are not comfortable with remembering how your dissembled it. All the screws need to be kept in different piles to avoid replacing wrongs screws in different areas.

I personally refuse to take laptops apart as there is so many small parts that can be broken or lost. Easiest way for you to do what you want is buy a can of compressed air and find the air vent and blow air into it.

Not the best idea because dust will just be blown into the laptop then. Dust into a motherboard = good chance for static electricity.
