Help! How do remove dust on speaker grills?

As per topic, I've a G73JH.. the grills are trapping dust... an a duster/damp cloth can't rid the dust.. what should i do?

 

i agree, im wondering also it bugs me >.> i hate dust on my brand new asus

 

Compressed air.. Just a little blast cleaned mine up quite nice.

 

ill have to get some

 

Or better vacuum. Make sure do not suck the speaker off.

 

I never recommend a vacuum on any computer product. Not like there are exposed parts but the static electricity has killed a PC or 2 that I have worked on.

Stick with a can of compressed air you get at any tech store.. That should do the trick and even 1 can should last you a good long while.

 

OK, I'll take your advice

 

And the PC's were not killed by me....... Just to make that clear.

 

i recommend cyberclean..
it gets into the pores in the grill and cleans it very effectively...
just be careful not to press it too hard esp over the speaker area..

 

Yeah, Vacuum = bad. Static electricity and all that.

Best option, if you don't want to spray dust into your computer with compressed air (but out of the vents!) is to use a needle and do each hole individually. or get some of that sticky-gunk from walmart.

 

I don't live in the states so I've no access to walmart, gonna check with the local hardware stores and see what i can find

 

Buy a new top case assembly .

 

I use a can of compressed air AND a vaccum. I leave the vacuum at a couple of inches distance. That keeps the dust from settling back where it came from. I"ve been using that technique on desktops for years. The key is not to touch anything from the vacuum and not to have it too strong or it will pull stuff off the mobo, etc. For those more a-retentive than most, you can find adapters for your vacuum that will let you go into corners or hard to reach places... but you have to remember to bring down the power of the vaccum (if you have that feature).

 

Compressed air....HAH! I tried that and the damn thing gunked out some white powdery stuff making it pure hell,before it was a few specs the can left me with blotches of white stuck in there T_T used tape and surgical tweezers to clean it.... I'll try CyberClean when it comes, got big hopes for it

 

Using a needle might remove or damage the paint on the metal grille. You might try something softer if you have such a thing, like a toothpick or something. I have a small brush attachment that came with this stupid mini vaccum thing that I broke. I kept the brush because it does a good job of getting the crap out of the grille. Just brush it around a bit and it goes away for me.
