Yeah, If I had a laptop, I would take it to Staples instead of a DIY just in case i mess something up. You can also go the compressed air route though you might need an adult with you to buy it. I get ID'd whenever I buy compressed air because 12 year olds have been known to get high by putting the straw up their noses. If you're low on money and have a leaf blower/ball pump around, those could work too lol

60 PSI...lolwut? It probably is a better idea to get someone "qualified" to do this kind of stuff.

BobRLol- yeah, I was just picturing some 12-year old blasting his brains all over his ceiling with the high-pressure dusters we used to use. Those things not only would give you a high pressure injection of Freon, but they'd give you frostbite as the temp dropped subzero in seconds. Anyway, the problem with using a compressed air can is that it's likely to just jam the dust deeper into the works. Mechanically removing it (ie: long, thin tweezers) is a lot better unless you've got open access to all sides of the vents- like from inside.

My old desktop had this issue- I SWEAR it was louder than my air conditioner; it sounded like it was about to explode or something.
