One thing that used to be an issue, but I don't know if it still is: they make special vacuum cleaners for cleaning computers, because a normal one can discharge static electricity. Something to look into.CR Cobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608090907843093841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793853503357953340.post-87332678949996121982014-03-17T17:06:41.328-07:002014-03-17T17:06:41.328-07:00Thanks, your suggestion got me started in the righ...Thanks, your suggestion got me started in the right direction although I did it slightly differently. First, I can see the fins on the heat sink through the exhaust port so I straightened out a paper clip so I could slide it in between the fins for about 1.25 inches to try to knock loose the dust on the other side. Then I was concerned about blowing with my mouth into the exhaust port as you did as it might introduce moisture. Two years ago I used a canned air spray to clean the heat sink on a desktop computer. It only worked for 30 seconds after I powered it back up. I took it to a computer repair place and he said that the canned spray can squirt a liquid into the computer if the can is not perfectly vertical and the liquid can kill the computer. My computer would have cost more to repair than a new one so I got a new one. So instead of blowing into the exhaust port myself I used a vacuum cleaner that has the ability to connect a hose to its cleaner's exhaust port so it becomes a blower. Then I used a second vacuum cleaner sucking on the entrance port to the fan while blowing on the exhaust port with the first vacuum. This worked out wonderfully. I monitor my CPU temp with the "Core Temp" program. Before cleaning, when I was doing real time stock price displays of about 60 stocks the core temp would go up to 85 degrees C. At that point Intel/Toshiba slows down the processor clock to try to keep the processor from frying. With the slow clock the computer was operating slowly. Now with the same circumstances my processor is run at 49 degrees C. Back to good as new! Thanks much for your idea.DaveHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070274719720132884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793853503357953340.post-78980385697508504812013-07-04T22:19:17.314-07:002013-07-04T22:19:17.314-07:00Thank you.
