May 17, 2010I have a problem with my keyboard. I think I've been unlucky enough that something has gotten under my 3 and t keys. Not just sitting underneath but in the mechanism itself it would seem. They still work, but they are stiff and I really have to press them to get them to respond. Is there anything I can try to fix it that won't require me to void my warranty or take it to get fixed?

Dell :: Cleaning My 1720
Feb 11, 2009My laptop doesnt over heat or anything but I have had this dell inspiron 1720 for over a year now and I really would like to clean out the fans/vents.
I read people's posts and they make it sound so easy to do. Well i flipped my laptop over and i look near the vents. There are no screws near the vent.
I also checked my manual and it does not show you how to get to the fan without taking the complete laptop apart. Is the 1720 really this hard to get to the fan or am i overlooking something?
I really don't feel like taking the screen off and then the keyboard just to get the fan.

HP/Compaq :: Cleaning Out The Fan On The Dv5t
Jan 27, 2009I wanted to clean the fan of my laptop by using the air compressor periodically so that dust wouldn't build up. Is there a recommended way to do it? Does the fan suck from the bottom and blow out the back and side? I was planning to blow the air compressor into the bottom side where i believe the fan is sucking air. Is it ok to do this while the laptop is on or should I turn it off?

Jul 4, 2008I was looking for ways to clean my aging Dell 1710 and I came across a blog on the Dell site http://yourblog.direct2dell.com/2008...e-laptop-love/. The person says that it is better to use a vacuum instead of compressed air to clean the heatsink and fan. I though everyone used compressed air, first time heard of sucking out dirt and dust.
View 13 Replies View RelatedDell :: E6400 Screen Cleaning
Jan 21, 2009I ordered a certified refurb and the machine is great except the former owner attempted to clean the screen and left tracks all over it.
I've searched for the best method to clean the screen and the consensus seems to be using a 50% isopropyl alcohol solution onto a lint free microfiber or soft cloth and to go in small circular or one way motions.
Anyone have great success cleaning their screens with minimal smudging? Does this warrant contacting dell to get the screen replaced?
the smudge tracks are significant when the screen is off but otherwise when using the machine they are not noticeable. Otherwise no dead pixels and no other problems.
I'd like to clean the screen if I can, I've been meaning to clean my d820 anyway, I havent' cleaned that screen sine I've gotten it.

Dell :: Cleaning The Fans On A M1730
Apr 5, 2009I was convinced that i had some background program running that was using too many resources, or some anti virus running , so i basically disabled everything that could be causing my fps to drop and still the problems continued.
I had the laptop on my lap the other day and noticed that it was unusually hot, i installed Speedfan and it gave me an idle temperature of
80c for both GPUS (8800s)
This seems to be rather high and im keen to find out if my fans are blocked or not and this could be causing my fps problems.
I have never used compressed air on my computer because im worried about just blowing the dust further inside the computer .....

View 3 Replies View RelatedHP/Compaq :: DV6 QuadCooling System Cleaning
Dec 1, 2009I have only had my dv6 a week, but i like to keep my notebooks running as cool as possible.
As far as i can see there is no way of accessing the fan, without taking the notebook to bits , there is no air intake above the fan like other notebooks , only 2 vents where you can see parts of the cooling system.
Now if i blow compressed air into these vents will the dust not just be blow all over the inside of the notebook, or will it just come out of the other vent.
Also i have read that you should secure the fan from running as not to damage it, but this is not possible without taking the notebook apart.
I can remove the hdd and memory covers without any problems, but i dont think this will give me access to the fan/cooling system.

It has a Intel Celeron 575 running at 2,00 GHz and a Intel GMA 4500mhd on a Intel GL40 mainboard.
It reports that it runs at 60c when idle, but it feels very hot when in use.
Even my own system runs cooler and it includes a ATI Mobility X1600 that can get a little toasty when in use.

View 4 Replies View RelatedLenovo X61 X Series ThinkPad :: Failure After Fan Cleaning?
Jan 15, 2013I just bought an X61 on ebay and installed Mint Linux, VirtualBox and the Win8.1 preview.
Â
All was going well, except that the heat worried me. The fan was going, but no air seemed to be coming out, so I followed the service manual and dismantled the whole machine. The area between the fan and the heatsink vanes was completely clogged with oily dust and felt, so I cleaned everything, lubricated the fan and re-assembled the machine.
Â
Now it will not turn on. No lights, nothing. I have checked all the internal connectors and all seem fine. I've done this sort of thing often in the past, although not in an X61.
Â
The one problem that I encountered was that the keyboard bezel was glued to the case bottom near the LH hinge and in prising the glue apart, I had to break a small piece out of the bezel at the back, and I have reassembled it with a slightly loose rear part of the bezel.
Â
So, my question is whether there is some sort of tiny switch in the video cable going up to the screen, and does this have to be accurately positioned wrt the bezel? Also, if I try to glue the bezel back together, would epoxy work with the bezel plastic or is there a better glue?
