Learn more about Laptop Fans and how to clean it
Do you know the use of Laptop fans
Cleaning your laptop and laptop fans should be done at least once a year, as part of your maintenance program and that will help your laptop fans to run without much hindrance. Don't worry; you won't have to spend a dime hiring a computer technician or a specialist to do this. Just check your user's manual and follow these quick tips:What You'll Need Aside from time, patience and steady hands, you'll need a few cotton swabs, compressed air, cleaning solution, and a soft cleaning cloth, like your old cotton shirts. Cleaning the Exterior Use a soft damp cloth to clean the casing - make sure it's damp, not dripping wet. And use a cotton cloth, keep away from scratchy or abrasive cloths. Also, stick to mild cleaning products for this task, and remember to spray it on the cloth first. Never spray the cleaning agent directly onto the surface of the computer. The Cooling Vents You'll need a can of compressed air and cotton swabs for the cleaning vents. Just be careful not to spray too hard as you might get liquid on the fan blades. Use the swabs to keep the fans in place while you clean it. Don't spin the fan while cleaning or you could cause it to over spin. I/O Ports The I/O ports should only be moved after the vents have been cleaned. Use the swabs to wipe away larger chunks of accumulated dirt. You may use compressed air as well, just be careful not to blow dirt into the ports. Display Turn off your laptop before cleaning the display, this way you see dirt more easily. Use non-abrasive cloth such as cotton cloths or pre-moistened wipes - never tissues or paper towels - to clean your display. When using a cloth, you will need a monitor cleaning solution. Keyboard You can use compressed air to get rid of dirt stuck between the keys on your keyboard. If your user's manual allows you to remove the keys for cleaning, then do so. You can take them all out and wash them with mild cleaning solution and a old toothbrush or cotton swabs. Just make sure you don't lose a key and you put them back in the right place. Like they say, prevention is always better than the cure. Sure, you can always clean your laptop - in this case, you must - but it would be much better if you kept it as clean as possible. You can do this by always keeping it away from food and drink. Make sure your fingers are also clean before you start working, or you'll transfer residue on your laptop and interfere with the laptop fans. And when not in use, try to keep it in a computer briefcase or any sort of protective covering.
