    Hi,

    I had my t410 for a couple of weeks now and the speaker grills on both sides are starting to get small dust particles stuck in the speaker grill 'holes'.

    Does any else have this problem and have any ideas on what the best way to clean these out would be?

    vacumm cleaner try to suck it out? might be a bit to powerful

    If you're brave enough to try vacuum cleaner, keep it a few cm away from the grills and operate on the lowest power.
    But I wouldn't dare...

    I knew it was bound to happen after the first couple days of having it. Cyber-clean?... or perhaps compressed air

    Won't a compressed air blast the dust into the system?
