[Wylug-help] Laptop cleaning

[Türker Sezer]

Thanks for suggestions and warnings. After your emails, I tried to open
easy-to-open cover parts to check if i can see fans, but i realized that i
can't even open basic parts because none of the parts in my screwdriver kit
fit screws on laptop.

I watched some videos and there is only one fan in this model and it is
attached to mainboard. So i will need to take mainboard out to clean fan.
This sounds too risky.

I think, i will try to get professional help if you know anybody?
Air duster was also going to be my suggestion.

Just a couple of workds of caution.

Make sure it's unplugged and the battery is disconnected.

There is a lot of condensate left if you're heavy handed with compressed air
or either it in short bursts and leave the laptop to dry out afterwards

Don't blow directly into fans. They'll end up spinning 10's of times faster
than designed and can stuff the bearings.

Having said all that it's still the simplest, most effective answer.
