Dust: clean it with care

computer repair

What do PCs and Macs have in common?
We see inside PCs, pads and pods on a daily basis and we’ve discovered what they have in common is dust.
You may be one of many people who spend hours in front of a glowing screen and warm hardware each day, scratching your skin. It’s inevitable, then, that fibres and skin cells build up within a computer’s vents.
While your electrical components aren’t likely to short-circuit, failure to have your computer’s fan cleaned will result in:

  • Monitor freezing due to electrostatic charge affecting screen’s magnetic components
  • Keyboard may stick and fail
  • Overheating due to fan being blocked
  • Condensation mixing with dust can cause sludge to build up

Sure you can have a crack at removing the gunk yourself, but take care. It can go very badly…

  • Vacuuming creates a large static build up that could (and most likely will) discharge into the sensitive electronics inside your computer case.
  • Compressed air (from a compressor, not a can) contains minute amounts of water vapour, so it’s possible to blow moisture into the connectors on your motherboard and damage it if you were to boot it immediately afterwards.

Book a clean with us we’ll use precision tools so there is not risk of damage to your computer.
