thanks real helpful. i have one question is it better to use a air can or brush and vacum?

@MrDudeman1424 Personally, I prefer an air can (make sure fan blades do not spin while applying it). However, it is easy to find at home a small brush. It seems that vacuum cleaners can produce electrostatic discharges, so pay attention and avoid any contact between the laptop and the plastic of the vacuum cleaner.

@joruirod i had a brush and vacum laying around,so i just did that way but next time i go out i plan on getting a air can.

We have the exact same.

Thanks.

This laptop over heats and shuts down it's so annoying!

I've had it since 08' it's alright just to fool around on.
