  • every time I see this video I find new details... great video, great song.

    ....it's decided I won't clean my laptop fan

  • i hate this Laptop!

  • I opened up my laptop the replace the HD and there was the fan right there.. AWESOME!

  • I used to have an Acer Laptop (7520g) which had some small hatch made to clean the fan where my current HP isn't working properly anymore because of cleaning the fan.. Everything works except the Cable-LAN Port because I forgot to inplug it... But well at least I have a laptop now. And besides that I'm glad I have a custom built desktop with good fans.

  • lol

    

  • As Seen On :

    /g/ - Technology

  • Lol i dremmeled a hole before the heatsink in the fan so i can clean it easily... looks horrible though.... temp stays around 45 though so thats ALOT better... (was originally at 60+)

  • yup done that a few times. also learned not to let ANYthing happen to the heat pipe as i fried my laptop after it bent

  • ...Ran out of space...

    As a side note, this is one of the reasons I don`t buy Helwett-Prickerd products. I thought to myself "as Jeremy Clarkson would say, How hard can it be?" Took less than ten minutes to flip my Acer Aspire around, screw ONE PANEL off, screw the fan out, clean it and throw the whole thing back together.

  • OMG this is hilarious! I threw a q on one forum yesterday about how to clean the fan of my laptop and as a response i was linked here! I LMAOd all the way the first time, had to listen to it a couple more times just for the laughs, got it stuck in my head for the whole friggin day and had to come back today to comment. So this is one guy from start to finish? (apart from the two side-actors). I`ll say, You sir got some serious talent! And I`m not just talking about the song...
