Cleaning laptop

*Legend* · Feb 18, 2005, 12:59 PM

After several months since I unwrapped my new laptop, dust, debris, etc. has fallen through the gaps of my keyboard and I can't get them back out. Anyone has any good advice besides using those air cans??

two words: GOOD LUCK.

you're gonna need it. those babys are a real b**** to clean. i'd recomend a micro vacume or static cling brush. thats about the only thing that will get under there.

Greeze.. I couldn't find this "micro vaccum" of yours... however, there is a simple way of doing this. You can get a can of "compressed air" and an extention tip (usually comes with it).

These compressed air bottles are so common you can get one at a local "Office Max" or any computer store that handles even a little bit in laptop accessories. You can also get some special cleaner in case your keys are sticky with any substance. But for just dust, the compressed air can is very cheap, very safe, and very easy to use.

but if you search for just "vacuum" you'll pull up some less expensive hits too.
