Notebook Vacuum Cleaner

Do you have any recommendation of a notebook vacuum cleaner that is powerful enough to clean internal parts of a notebook? I don't want to use the one that uses battery or USB port because they are not powerful enough.

How about using a regular vacuum cleaner for your carpet? Could that damage your notebook?

 

regular vacuum cleaner for the carpet would definitely damage the hardware ._. I think the USB or battery ones are made not powerful just to prevent hardware damage while sucking them dusts

 

Compressed air is probably safer to use.

 

The problem with compressed air is it just moves the dirt around, instead of removing it.

 

Yep, but it's going to build up again either way in roughly the same amount of time if conditions stay the same.

In other words, just use compressed air.

 

Compressed air is the only thing even close to a Vacuum Cleaner I use, or would use.

Compressed air >>> vacuum cleaner
^ from personal experience

 

I bought a PC vacuum cleaner. I paid 40$. In the pic it looked big so I thought it was powerful. When the package arrived, my expectations went wrong. It was like size of a pen with usb wire. It is so weak that my mouth blower was more powerful.

 

I assume that you plan to open your notebook to clean it.
But even there a normal vacuum cleaner isn't powerful enough to clean your notebook. You need compressed air (or just blow with your mouth), and then you can use a normal vacuum cleaner to catch the raised dust. But with only the vacuum cleaner it's quite senseless.
I don't know what vacuum cleaner you use, but a lot of vacuum cleaners have an optional small nozzle, so it's more focused and precise. Just make sure that the nozzle is made of plastic, and not metal, else you might damage your mainboard accidentally.

If you don't want to open it, then, well, then you can use any vacuum cleaner, just shut your PC down first, else you might damage your internal fan. But don't expect that it's cleaned afterwards

 

Depending on how you use the vacuum cleaner its no problem

I use a dyson!!! with the brush tool - just run it across teh keyboard (best done when off, else you get a mess )

I also used it on RAM once - just get close and dust gets pulled away...
I also used a combination of compressed air/gas and vacuum cleaner - this is possibly est - blow away dust from the heatsink, collect with a vacuum cleaner.

But be careful if you clean components whatever you do.


Edit:
PS: you may also want to keep the fan from spinning like mad - I used a swiss armyknife toothpick (never use it as a toothpick, so)

 

naa you just need the real deal, an actual air compressor with an air tool will blow stuff right out. Canned air sucks though IMO not enough pressure, has that residue sometimes, cant be tilten or upside down and makes things cold.

If your going to use the canned stuff often you need a brush or something to use along with it to agitate more stuck on dust.

 

Haha that pretty funny ...

Same with the Dyson comment i say just go with the compressed air or research around the forums guys here have done all kinds of crazy stuff.

 

Like everyone else has said compressed air is the way to go. Cheap and easy to use, just make sure you're in a well ventilated area before you clean your laptop out.

 

There is actually one major reason people do not use vacuums; Vacuums cause static electricity which can and often will damage your notebooks' components. Canned air does not.

 

I never heard of this before(then again everyone I know save for one person uses canned air), do you have a link to it?
