Dust, Cigarette ash, pet hair and other particles can accumulate on or inside the notebook PC. When this happens, they form a layer of grime that can scratch the screen or shorten the life of hardware components by causing overheating. Cleaning the notebook PC can extend its life by getting rid of this potentially damaging build up. Cleaning the notebook once a year is part of a regular maintenance program is recommended. Clean the cooling vents – Depending on the model, vents can be found on the side, back, and / or the bottom of the notebook PC. These vents allow air to flow through the PC and keep it cool. Build-up inside these vents impedes the cooling process. Purchase a can of compressed air (available at most computer retailers) and blow the particles out of the vents. Search for the fan and see if it ever starts turning. Never operate the computer while setting it on a soft surface such as a bed, pillow, couch, etc. It will cause overheating.
