My way, remove a side panel of the case, blow dust out with a can of compressed air, put side panel back on.

The can works great dont use a shop air compressor without a filter, and pressure regulator I found out the hard way, even standing back a ways it had too much pressure and it had just a little oil and water in the air so, instead of having it fixed I ended up with a new computer.

Dust off.
You can buy it at Walmart. You may have to show your ID and sign for it.

A powerful vacuum and various soft brush attachments on the hose with a soft paint brush for loosening stubborn deposits. Compressed air blows contaminants INTO the the various sockets and connectors and under keyboard and other membranes. If all that I have available to me is compressed air then I disassemble things so that I can blow out the connectors and sockets. I think the canned air products came about from managers and time=money far more than the technical/engineering departments (my professional opinion).

My degree is in electronics and computers and I've worked in the field my entire career, from relay logic and vacuum tubes forward.

As always, TURN OFF THE POWER and unplug, before doing anything with it.....just sayin.

Power washing is not as absurd as it may sound BUT must be done correctly. The pig castrator will definitely not have the desired results but might get people outdoors more... laugh


Keep your boots dry and your powder too.

I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it.

Best Regards,

JT

How often should it be cleaned?


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

If you hold your keyboard upside down and lightly tap it a few times you may be surprised how much stuff falls out.
