But “dirty” does not mean that the problem is in the soiled keyboard or the smudged display. It is more about the big amount of dust inside the laptop. This dirt is not visible, but is solid problem. Of course you can clean your laptop. But do you know how to do it? It is not that easy to be done, because this work needs some technical knowledge and stable nerves. You have to become aware how serious and necessary this work is. Use the following tips to ease cleaning your laptop.
Remember that different models of laptops are really different. It means that no matter of the believing that all the laptops have similar way of disassembling, this is not true. Different designs and different specifications mean different structure of the parts. Actually opening the lids is nearly the same- from top or from bottom. But after this the differences start.
Laptops that can be opened from under are easier for manipulating. Those that can be opened from above are a little bit more difficult as you have first to remove the keyboard. No matter of the opening, there is one sure thing that you have to do. This is to read carefully the owners manual of the laptop, so to erase any possibility of mistake. It is good idea to visit the web site of the producer of the laptop and to read all the information concerning the model of laptop you use. What you need for opening your laptop are screws with suitable ends. For the cleaning itself you will need compressed air, soft brush, pincers and small vacuum cleaner, cotton, ear sticks and spirits. Do not take the dust with fingers, because you can be in a big trouble.
Before starting the cleaning of course you have to turn off the laptop. This is not necessary to be said, but I prefer to insure myself and to tell this.
Take off the battery. Your first cleaning work has to be the keyboard and what is under it. So demount the keyboard and clean all the dirt there. For demounting the keyboard, unscrew the studs that are under the panel in the upper side of the corpus. This part is normally fixed with clasps.
So now you are one step closer to cleaning your laptop.
