    Is there any easy way to remove the grill on top of the speakers? A lot of dust is stuck in there that I want to get rid of it. Compressed air only help with the dust on the surface of it. I have no experience on opening a laptop and don't wish to break anything in the process so I was just wondering if there is a easier way to do so. Thanks

    Nope,as you may have notice it goes under the screen so there is no "quick fix" for this. try cyberclean,didn't remove it all but it does help some.
    besides that I used microsurgery equipment

    No, you have to remove the LCD to remove it. It's not that hard from I've seen, if you follow the guides that are around then there's no real way you can mess up.

    I haven't had this problem on my G73 yet but on my G51 I used a clean, dry toothbrush to get into the grille, and then used some compressed air.

    Just watched the BTOtech disassembly video. I don't think I want to crack it open. I don't trust myself enough to do so. Might try the toothbrush thing. Thanks
