Compressor for blow out the dust

[oveeseregor]

Hi...
I need a help, i want to blow out the dust out of my laptop.. Can i use compressor to blow out the dust, or vacuum cleaner, since i have difficulties in finding can of compressed air, and its easy for me for just using compressor because there is a body shop in near my home....
Is there any bad things happen if i using compressor or mini vacuum??

Thank you in advance!

6 years or 1000 years, google expert, look it up thanks for your time. I rest my case and till you prove other wize my verdict in education of the dangers remain Ferm. For you to say different is making yourself look unprofessional.

Ferm?
I believe the writer of the article was confusing carcinogenic PCB's with Printed Circuit Boards used in computers. Electrolytic capacitors used in computers contain no chemical PCB's .
That's the typical education you get from progressive public educators and tree-hugging AlGores.

i bought a comp just 4 my cpu cleaning. set to 60-80psi and go. been doing this for 8 years. no damage ever.

Me too remember to wear a mask or be in a open area to minmize the amount of toxins 2010 link http/www.safecomputingtips.com/blog/healthy-computing/dont-let-your-computer-kill-you/

simple search on the net will explain the toxins in computer dust, and the PCB is the toxin of PCB, I'm not talking about the board materal. The PCB is from transformers and Capacitors. The residue of dead energy will produce PCB. Leaking Capacitors that black stuff that oozes out in old parts is PCB

Read how people are exposed to PCB, (stress on the part old electronics). I rest my case, google it to discover the full effects of toxins in dust and electronics.

deny if you dare, I'll follow the rules and teach the young safe practice of cleaning electronics.

TURN OFF THE POWER FIRST!

I blew compressed air on my laptop and broke the fan motor. I had to disassemble the whole thing to get at it and replace it.

yesterday, i saw my friend blow out the dust manually, i mean just blowing air from his mouth, and i saw there is a dust flying out from the fan... is it effective?

Not really effective. It has been my experience that most dust requires a bit more pressure to remove then human lungs can produce. Also, you run the risk of spitting all over your components.

Not to mention inhaling a bunch of dust. lol

No thanks!

but it did worked, before blowing, his temperature is reaching 90-95c when gaming, but now just 78c max

Ditto the 'hold the fans" comment. I used my compressor on one of my machines last year and didn't hold the PS fan. It generated enough current to trip the fuse inside of the PS.

A little extra expense, and a good bit of extra frustration -- this was my main development workstation. I had a spare PS, so I was back up in about 20 minutes, but what a pain.
