Cleaning Heat Sink of a Laptop – Things you should know


Regardless of what you are – a share broker or a miner – and what environment your laptop is used in – the backyard of a Wool Factory or the desk an air-conditioned corner office, cleaning a laptop is necessary. When I say cleaning, I mean total cleaning, not just the scrub marks or oil trails on the screen and the plastic body. To make it simple, cleaning all the necessary parts of the laptop including the parts inside is crucial. It is not a matter of hygiene; the matter here is whether your laptops survive to see its second birthday. Visit any of the thousands of the tech support forums hosted by servers around the globe, what they all say is, your laptops life depends on the way it is handled and serviced.
Laptop Servicing
Laptop Servicing is the process in which the hardware components of laptops are serviced. These compact things work under heavy duress and so their life expectancy is very low. If something else is going to add the pressure, just like taking an old geezer on an armed robbery, then it’s just a matter of time; servicing is what keeps laptops on the line for a long time.
But the problem with paid professional servicing is that it’s costly and not everyone can afford it. If you ask me for a personal opinion about paid laptop servicing, I would say with absolutely no remorse “It’s a waste of money”.
If you can do it, why would you pay someone to do it?
Laptop servicing is costly. But it can be done very easily by a normal person with the help of guides. You can download guides for variety of laptops from different tech support forums. Basically, cleaning a laptop is very simple and if you don’t plan to buy another one in a year or two, here are some instructions that can be helpful.
1. You should purchase a Laptop Servicing kit (screwdriver set & cleaning tools like blower).
2. Open up the back cover fitted over the cooling fan by removing the screws.
3. After removing the lid, you can see a fan and a copper sink. Remove the fan carefully and detach the connecting cable from the motherboard.
4. Now use the air-blower and a tissue to clean the dirt on the sink, fan and the exhaust slots or grills.
Assemble back the parts you have removed and you are done.
