Hi @ibrahim_alsayed 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

Cleaning the vents on your laptop is crucial for maintaining airflow and preventing overheating. Here’s the best way to do it:

 

How to Clean Your Laptop Vents Safely
 

  1. Power Off and Unplug – Shut down your laptop and disconnect it from power to prevent damage.
  2. Use Compressed Air – Hold a can of compressed air at an angle and use short bursts to blow dust out of the vents. Avoid tilting the can too much to prevent condensation.
  3. Soft Brush or Toothbrush – A gentle brush can help loosen debris stuck in the vents. Lightly brush away dust without pressing too hard.
  4. Vacuum Cleaner (Optional) – If available, use a vacuum with a brush attachment to carefully remove remaining dust.
  5. Microfiber Cloth – Wipe the surrounding area with a microfiber cloth to remove smudges or dirt.
     

To keep it clean long-term, consider cleaning every few months, especially if your laptop runs hot or you notice fan noise increasing. Let me know if you need more details!
