Compressor for blow out the dust

[oveeseregor]

Hi...
I need a help, i want to blow out the dust out of my laptop.. Can i use compressor to blow out the dust, or vacuum cleaner, since i have difficulties in finding can of compressed air, and its easy for me for just using compressor because there is a body shop in near my home....
Is there any bad things happen if i using compressor or mini vacuum??

Thank you in advance!

yesterday, i saw my friend blow out the dust manually, i mean just blowing air from his mouth, and i saw there is a dust flying out from the fan... is it effective?

Not really effective. It has been my experience that most dust requires a bit more pressure to remove then human lungs can produce. Also, you run the risk of spitting all over your components.

Ditto the 'hold the fans" comment. I used my compressor on one of my machines last year and didn't hold the PS fan. It generated enough current to trip the fuse inside of the PS.

A little extra expense, and a good bit of extra frustration -- this was my main development workstation. I had a spare PS, so I was back up in about 20 minutes, but what a pain.
