How To Clean Dust From Your Laptop

[Dsgooden]

I did this but used compressed air as my vacuum doesn't go in reverse, it worked wonders! Before it was heating up like crazy and froze all the time, now it's nice and quiet.

[aliblancd]

how do i turn my vacuum on to reverse?????

[TheSilverSting]

Thank you so much I have all of the necessary things to do it now xD

[theDeanxD]

Are sucking the air or blowing.

[Schaine1000]

HEy, I have a Acer Aspire 7552G its running at 90° on everything, i need to clean it. I have NO acress to the fans and one vent on the side where air comes out and several vents on the botton? Should i blow into the side-vent into the fan, or into the vents on the groud blowing the dust out the side-vents? Thank OYu

[Sunggyuie]

hi! is it ok if i use a vacuum without switch to the reverse one? will it damage my laptop? Thank you.

[paoacab13]

i have an hp dv6 pentium dual core T4400 running at 2.20GHZ 4GB of RAM and after 2 years since i got it,it started doing some strange sounds which sometimes are weak and other times they are strong.These sounds seem to come from the fans.Does this has to do with the fans???Should i do what you are doing on your video?

[KEEVVY]

I wonder why the new age of laptop makers never think outside the box to do a easy fan acces , I remember the old hp like z5000 , you only removed 4-5 screws to acces the fan.

[shadowtail2155]

when i saw the hp sign i thought"of course" thats why imma get the ASUS gaming laptop

[tundra12555]

how do I reverve my vacuum so it blows? If I turn down the psi on my compressor, is that ok?

[notahater554]

will this help my laptop with its loud fan

[ellekriz]

is this can prevent from overheating your laptop?

[liasimsphoto]

You've got a hot voice. Also, your video was really easy to follow, thank you!

[mhaikal99]

yay im happy!im happy for 49 minutes!than it shutdown even though i suck all the dust,i sware,ALL!!!

[Resoka98]

Im gonna try it on my laptop Compaq Presario CQ61 i searched a whole day and i finally found it :D and without opening ure laptop ...

[timoureye]

Hey, I have a 6hp wetvac should it be okay to use it with the skinny attachment?

[vinhlamcanada]

Would a bike pump work?

[FreeBlago1]

Cool generic music...(bops head)

[OnlineShots]

How can you use a vacuum when vacuums use static electricity? Computers would get affected...

[gamerguycod]

would running a vacuum on normal,the sucking air motion, work if you don't have a reverse vacuum or compressed air?

[Joshuadaman78]

Hey, i saw the dust when he blow the fan!

[Joshuadaman78]

cool, ty

[flow1243]

Ineffective technique past the point that users usually do notice considerable temperature increase. The right one is to remove the back cover and just remove the dust near the fan, especially at the airducts area where it tends to accumulate.

[SuperHushPuppy]

LOL. Unable to afford this so I blew it with my own mouth. It was so not smart and got dirty on my face. Had to clean my face twice from dirty bacteria. XD

[TNSLPPBNTSOXD]

wouldn't the dust get deeper on the pc getting in to the mother board and worsening the problem?

[MrPyjamaTrousers]

@TNSLPPBNTSOXD The same question pops op my mind. Did they already give you a reply on that one..?

[ItzPkJoHn]

my eaaaaaaaaars

[jetpack1986]

I use air cans and blow at the exhaust, be careful not to blow it at a wrong position thought or else it'll produce a moister into the component!

[widdalightsout]

Thank you very much.. this works like a charm. I have a HP G62 and it used to freeze when I used to watch videos online.. I tried your methods, heck I didn't even have a blower, I blew air into the vents with my mouth Haha .. but it works :D.. it works :D

[cypts1]

omg and i took my laptop to an "expert" and he charged me 115pounds to put another hard drive in my laptop and now i see that the problem may be due to the fact that it may be dirty inside. Well i got my laptop today and it still shuts down unexpectedly!

[Luna983]

I have to try!!!

[sakshichampion]

nice ....

can u tel how to take care of my laptop screen ?

its dell inspiron....

[djgiz91]

Are you using a vacuum cleaner?

[attas45]

Dude gr8 video. If i use a vacuum cleaner where should i blow into the vent which air comes out cus in my laptop i cannot see the fan from the back case. Doesnt using a vacuum blow more dust into the computer???

[MegaTutorial101]

Can you please make a tutorial on how to format a laptop without using a booting disk......

[jwrx7tt01]

what's a shop vac? a brand?

[thehamza1296]

i am watching this in 1080p i wonder how it would look in 240p

[Mad7K]

hi

my laptop is Hp dv6 3030ej

i think my laptop vent is almost completely blocked will this help ?

[BromeoMcBrostein]

i actually do the opposite, instead of blowing air into the laptop, i would use the vaccum to suck the dust out of the heat grills. all laptop fans must have an entrance and exit for the airflow which cools the heatsink. the entrance to where the airflow meets the heatsink is where the dust is gathered, which would only makes sense to vaccum the dust out, instead of blowing air into the laptop.

[PCRepairAnywhere]

@BromeoMcBrostein Look closer at the video. I'm actually blowing air into the INTAKE of the laptop's airflow assembly, therefore blowing dust out of the EXHAUST. Trust me, after doing this for over 16 years, this IS the most efficient method for 99% of all laptops out there.

[FullM3tal7ack3t]

@PCRepairAnywhere well i have a problem, my laptop.. ermm asus g73sw.. cant see the INTAKES... any idea ? 

[pinkpinklollipop]

@PCRepairAnywhere how do I know which is the intake of the laptop's airflow assembly and which is the exhaust?

[bobdotexe]

@pinkpinklollipop when the laptop's on, you can feel air coming out of the outtake vent.

[Crephanatic]

I am watching this on my laptop O.o how do I follow?

[theawsome321]

i get it but the last video i saw had a air compressor

[MegaTutorial101]

Thanks... this video really helps me a lot..... I'm gonna share it to my friends....

[MADagain321]

[MindMementoX]

@MADagain321 Do you have Toshiba Harman/Kardon windows 7? i have a white :3

[MADagain321]

@MindMementoX Lol your such a noob harmen/kardon is the name of the screen

[spencergough81]

A hair dryer on COLD setting works just fine for getting dust out of your laptop.

[chargersfan1111]

My laptop is always 90 degrees celcius+, I really need to clean it lol

[cnks1]

i have a hp 425 and it is and it is makeing a noise like vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv­vvvvvvvvvvv and it gets relly hot what do you recommend ??????

[burntonion05]

I have an hp with the same fan set up and I used a regular vacuum and it now doesn't shut off but it is still running hot. When I am streaming videos it gets up to 95C and idle about 87C. Is this normal for a hp laptop with a turion 64 x2 mobile?

[craptasticwow]

what software should i use to check the speed of my laptop fan??

[immaculateAMG]

i have a compaq and everytime i watch videos with sound are hear music my laptop make this lound annoying buzzing sound, and i wonder is it my speakers.can sombody please help me out with this one?

[tahmidtd1]

i got a toshiba and keeps on turning off should i try what u done

[Tears0faShadow]

How to clean dust from your laptop - shove a hoover along the vents - got it!

[vimalweishin]

Does dust makes our labtop freezes when I am playing video games?

[PCRepairAnywhere]

@vimalweishin Yes it certainly can do that!

[edawg775]

Hello i have a Toshiba Satelite p205D and i just dowloaded speed fan and it says that currently the core tempurature in my laptop is between 50-55 degrees celcius I just whanted to know if thats normal.

[PCRepairAnywhere]

@edawg775 That's a little high... It's not bad, but you actually want your temp somewhere in the 40s. I would definitely not be happy if it went to 60 or above on a regular basis. Under a heavy workload it can go that high, but still, you want to aim for about 40-45.

[355casio]

In the 60s they called it a vacum cleaner

[theteacher010]

lol you reckon a hair dryer would work? xS

The one i have is pretty strong, and it has to be better than blowing right?

[PCRepairAnywhere]

@theteacher010 A hair dryer won't do much, and you definitely don't want to use any HEAT. If you have access to a shop vac, or any vacuum that will run in reverse, this is best. Canned air is honestly the only alternative we suggest.

[Crephanatic]

@PCRepairAnywhere Can I use a camera blower?

[XsXanatos]

How can u say NOT TO USE AIR COMPRESSOR ?

Man, that's excellent way to blow up the dusts. The vacuum cleaner CAN damage the components on the laptop. Carefull next time. Better use AIR COMPRESSOR!! Thumbs up if I am right !

[PCRepairAnywhere]

@XsXanatos An air compressor is too strong for this job. I have personally seen a laptop fan assembly get destroyed by an air compressor. Air compressors are meant to drive pneumatic tools and to fill your tires with air, NOT for cleaning dust out of your laptop.

[beast36001]

@PCRepairAnywhere in my compressor setup i can ajust from 0-120psi. with the regulator, that would work, but what PSI would you recommend?

[synerjay16]

@XsXanatos using an air compressor is akin to nuking a city for rodent infestation. the pressure is too much.

[Th3Legit1]

could i use a hair blow dryer? to blow the dust?

[xBookerT]

@Th3Legit1 yea aslong as you set it to cool air

[florastacey9229]

errr how do i vent out my macbook?!

[AkumaRyu27]

Thanku, very helpful, my pc just shut down, n has been hot as of late, I need to buy a can if that compressed air

[CaseyCrafter]

Hello, could you please tell me that if there is alot of dust in your laptops vents and fan thing, does it make the laptops performance slower? My laptop overheats alot and turns off, and the temperature is usually 80-90 degrees when im playing a game lol. :) thankyou for the tips too! <3

[PCRepairAnywhere]

@CaseyCrafter Yes, it can certainly make your performance slow down. And if you're talking about 80-90 degrees Celcius, that's pretty hot! Might be time to clean it out before it gets worse!

[CaseyCrafter]

@PCRepairAnywhere thanks :) i will get it sorted out ! 

[rakketakke]

gppd stuff. But what is better, suck or blow mode?

[PCRepairAnywhere]

@rakketakke Suction won't do much of anything at all when it comes to cleaning out laptops. The same goes for desktops. Blowing air, by either using canned air or running a vacuum in reverse is honestly the only way to do this properly. Thanks for the question!

[papekush1]

i have a qif u are trying to get dust out why are u useing a shock vack in reves bc i have nociteds when useing shock vacks they blow stuff like dust into the air when u do that? can u help me?
