Compressed Air

#1 Post by Snowman88 » Mon Apr 23, 2007 11:51 am

Hi all. I have a Thinkpad T60 15.4'' widescreen and wanted to ask about dust removal. Specifically, there are some dust particles caught in the speaker-holes on the left side of the machine. Is it safe for me to spray some compressed air to get the dust out of the speakers? Also, what's the best way to keep the fan dust-free? Is it safe just to spray compressed air into the fan vents?

Thanks all.

Here is a detailed thread on this topic:

Thank you for the link to the thread. It's quite helpful. One thing: that thread doesn't address my speakers question. Is it OK to use compressed air to remove dust from the speaker holes?

Thanks!

Yes it is, just don't blow it closely.
