How to clean the vents?

‎09-22-2011 07:37 AM

I would like to clean the vents on my hp pavilion dv6000, but they are not exposed.  Should I remove the covers to best remove debris?

Hey, wardc. Glad you're taking good care of your notebook! The best way is to use compressed air, but not directly blowing it into the vent. Now, if that doesn't seem to do the trick, you could always remove the covers. Just be careful about the tiny screws.
