    Hi guys
    I can't find a search function so this might've been posted before, sorry about that.

    My question:
    Will opening up my Thinkpad T61 to clean it from dust void its warranty? I'm gonna remove the palmrest + keyboard (that's enough to clean it right?).

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks Nonny!
    I've done the cleaning but there wasn't any dust at all...

    Is CPU temp under load of 90 degrees Celsius normal for a Thinkpad T61?
    When it's idle it's around 60-70 degrees Celsius. Anybody else have these temps?
