My Vent #2 | Guess what I did!

[Lorak]

My new (refurbished) laptop came in today! After ensuring the overall basics worked, I powered the computer down, opened it*, and dusted the two vents because this previously used model had two fans where both fins were covered in dust.

The good news is that in one of the vents, I pulled out a dust chunk which I thought was crazy!

The bad news: Sadly, I did not bother to take pictures. But just imagine there are two vents (rather than one) with the fins covered in a thin layer of dust.

*Please do not attempt this procedure on your own. For those inexperienced, opening the cover into any device poses an electrical shock risk and/or expensive property damage.

I hope you enjoyed #2 on me cleaning vents. It’s almost perplexing by how such little material can be the culprit to achieving maximum performance and longevity with computers.
