How to clean a laptop without disassembling it?

If you notice that your laptop is making too much noise during operation, you need to clean it. In this case, we are not talking about cleaning the system, but about cleaning it from dust and debris.

When to clean your laptop from dust

You can determine the need to clean a laptop depending on its model; the features of the cooling system and, of course, operating conditions are also important. Budget models that are made from inexpensive iron need to be cleaned least often.

Laptops based on Intel Atom consume a small amount of energy and are equipped with silent cooling systems. The cooler is made of heat pipes and can be designed without moving elements. Such equipment can be cleaned from dust infrequently. It will be enough to clean the mesh with a vacuum cleaner just twice a year. It's very simple and unobtrusive.

Reference. Ultrabooks that use a passive cooling system do not accumulate dust.

Equipment that uses fans in the cooling system requires cleaning more often. Operating conditions are also important. If you work at a desk, dust will not accumulate quickly. If you take your laptop to bed or have animals in your house, the fans become clogged much more quickly. You can check the need for cleaning using special applications.

Important! If the equipment overheats, it must be cleaned.

How to properly clean a laptop from dust without disassembling it

Let's consider how you can clean your equipment from dust and debris without resorting to disassembling it, because this is not always possible. You will only need to remove the battery, after which you can proceed with the following steps:

• You will need to prepare a can of compressed air; a regular vacuum cleaner is unlikely to help you with this matter. You will also need alcohol, microfiber, and a brush.
• Leave the apartment. It would be better to clean in a well-ventilated area.
• By briefly pressing the can, you need to push air into one of the holes intended for ventilation.
• First of all, you need to destroy existing plots With dust. It is necessary to act through each corner of the air collectors, try to push the flows against each other. Be careful as there is a risk of damage to the blades.
• You will need to blow out the dust until it is gone.
• Soak microfiber in alcohol and wipe the areas of the ventilation grill that are dirty. You can use a brush.

This, in fact, is the whole process of how you can blow dust off your laptop without disassembling it.

You will also need to clean your keyboard from time to time. To do this, use a medium-hard brush; you can also treat the buttons with alcohol. Timely cleaning of your laptop will keep it in working order.

If the described process for cleaning the ventilation system did not help you and the laptop continues to operate noisily and slows down, it would be better to seek help from specialists in this matter.
