Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I had gotten a VERY small peiece of pencil lead (about the length of maybe 1-2 mm and a thickness of 0.7mm) stuck inside of my laptop through the vent and it seems to be in my keyboard.

 

I was wondering if it would be harmful at all just to leave it in there or is it really nothing to worry about.

 

Thank you!

If it leaves stuck there is nothing to worry about, but if it goes inside it can short circuit electronics because the graphite from what the lead is made of conducts current.

 

Any chance to use a vacuum cleaner to suck it out?

Hello!

 

Thank you for your reply! If using a vacuum cleaner will solve the problem, I will try to fish it out with it both from the keyboard and the fan vent as soon as I can.

 

Thanks again!
