How to safely clean the inside of a computer. By Allan Dick
Supplies Needed • A can of compressed air. ( A 10 oz. can generally cost from $5-$10 and you can get them at any hardware store) • Endust for Electronics or any other household plastic or metal cleaning fluid. • A face mask if you are allergic to dust. • A vacuum.
Steps • Step 1 – Shut down the computer. Remove all of the peripherals. • Step 2 – Take off the outer case. (Unscrew screws) • Step 3 – Ground yourself by touching a metal part of the chassis. • Step 4 – Vacuum any loose dust out of the computer case. • Step 5 – Spray compressed air on the fan blades, the power supply chassis, drive chassis, and circuit boards. • Step 6 – Vacuum any remaining dust that the compressed air didn’t remove. • Step 7– Put the case back on the computer and reconnect any peripherals.
Step 4 - Vacuuming Be careful while vacuuming inside the computer because the internal components are very delicate and can break easily. So don’t jam the vacuum in too hard.
