Hey guys,

I have an Inspiron 600m with a 64MB Radeon 9000. Well I guess someone spilled water on my Inspiron, everything works fine for the most part. But if I play a game or something, the graphics card will overheat and everything will just slow down. I know that the graphics is soldered in is it isn't replacable but is there something I can do? Maybe fab up a heatsink?
 
I should do a search, but is there a diagram of where everything is on this laptop?
 
I found the repair manual, but it doesn't say how to get to the videocard. I'm thinking its a cooling problem as I can play Starcraft just fine but once I do 3D games such as Warcraft 3 it slows down to unplayable rates after 20 or so minutes.
