    Man have I been sidetracked. It's been a long time since I've been to this message board. Anywho, something told me I should swing by and check around the forums since I used to religiously come through to see if any firmware updates were released for the fans, and I've come to see they have! Since I'm also a bit overdue for cleaning out my laptop I thought I'd ask for any tips people may have to get back on track.

    - As far as dusting, I do have a can of air to spray my keyboard to keep it clean, but for the inside, just how thoroughly can it be cleaned? I know you take off the lid on the bottom, but is that about as far as you can go, just poking around where possible with the straw that's included?

    - For the monitor, I first tried a package of generic anti-static wipes which I thought were awful, and recently bought this product:

    There are some tiny stains on my screen that I want to try and wipe off, but I'm afraid of wiping too hard and damaging my laptop.


    If anyone has any other tips and tracks to keeping things clean and running smoothly, I'm all ears. :)
