This video will show you how to keep your laptop running clean & cool. Dust buildup is a huge problem for laptops and can cause overheating, random shutdowns and freezes, and can make the fan run constantly, draining your battery. Using a vacuum running in reverse, you can safely blow out dust from your laptop's vents and fans.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

@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.

Are sucking the air or blowing.

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

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.

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?
