    Hey guys

    I was just wondering if there is a guide on how to open and clean your P300.

    Its been over a year and I may think dust has built up where the vents are and may cuase heat problems.

    Anyone know how to clean the vents safely?
    Any guides or instructions?

    Thanks
    Jimmy

    That isnt the brightest idea :/

    Does the p300 have a fan? If so remove the bottom, put something through the heatsink to stop the fan dead in its tracks (WHILE ITS OFF OFCOURSE!)

    Get some compressed air and release gentle bursts around the heat sink :) make sure the fan doesnt spin, i think they can get damaged that way.

    Not true, the only concern is spinning it while it's on.
    In fact, I definitely wouldn't want the fan to be stuck when dusting out my computer.
