    Can you remove the grill on the Asus G51? It's the one place that the dust seems to collect. I have no idea how to clean it.

    Any ideas?

    Vacuum it? I haven't tried, but that's what I would do. Yeah, it gets dusty as hell.

    someone suggested tape in another thread, I'll be trying it soon, sounds like a viable idea.

    I tried using tape to pull the dust hairs out. Works a little but not quite good enough. I think I might need to use tweezers for the bigger stuff yeesh!

    Actually just thought something. I have this sticky gum stuff for temporarily sticking things up on a wall. If it doesn't get stuck in the holes it might work!

    Anyone have tips? I tried cyberclean, compressed air, and vacumming, but none worked.
    Would taking the grill off be hard to clean it?
