In this video I clean the dust out of a Toshiba Satellite laptop because the exhaust vent was 100% blocked by dust causing the laptop to over heat and shut down.

If you plan on working on your laptop, please take notes and take your time. This video makes things look very easy. Some connectors will fall apart easier than they will disconnect and can take several minutes to slowly work apart. It is VERY easy to break small components that are expensive to replace. Depending on your individual skill level you may have more of a chance of breaking something than fixing something so if your laptop is important to you, please let an experienced technician handle it. I have over 10 years experience working with computers. I will try my best to answer questions but please keep them related to the video and the work being done. Thank you for watching!

  • Thank you so much for this video, I was just wondering after I did this my wireless wont work, is this something I can fix or do I need to bring it in? Everything is hooked back in where it was or at least I think so.....

  • @EvilEmily2213 I would check to see that the connections are secure. Also would check the device manager to be sure that the driver for your wireless is installed correctly.

  • You sir just saved me my Toshiba L305d-S5934.

    I love you.

  • @TehTechnoGuy I'm happy to help! Thanks for letting me know!

  • Thank You so much, I cleaned my Toshiba A300 and it works much better now!!!

  • if you don't take pc out of the house , just add props to back under carriage creating airspace , remove panel covers and leave them off ...the only way to keep the older (1-2yrs)running cool, my A-305 can cook eggs on it after a few hrs & efficient drops 40%

  • what type of screw driver did you use

  • how much do stores charge for this service?
