How To Clean Your Laptop?

First and foremost, you need to unplug your laptop from the power source.

You must also make sure that it’s turned off before you start cleaning it.

There is a possibility of short circuiting while plugging in or out your laptop which can lead to irreparable damage to your hardware components (mainly motherboard).

Now turn over your laptop and keep it upside down on the soft cloth so that the screen won’t scratch if there are any loose pieces inside with which you will be working.

Remove Anything That Is Stuck On The Keyboard 

(If Your Laptop Has A Touchpad, Remove The Battery After Turning It Off)   

Most of the laptops have a small plastic sheet stuck to Keyboard which can be removed easily.

However, if that sheet is not removable or has left some kind of sticky stuff on the keyboard, then you need a cotton swab dipped in alcohol to gently remove it out.

Also make sure that the area where you will be cleaning is well-lit and there are no loose components laying around. In order to avoid frying your laptop due to electric mishaps, please make sure that it’s turned off while working with any hardware components inside.

Clean The Screen With Compressed Air Or Microfiber Cloth

You need a small cloth (microfiber or any other) to clean your screen; first of all open the display as wide as possible without exerting too much pressure on the hinges.

The best method to clean your laptop screen is by spraying some compressed air (obtained from a can) directly on to the screen and then wipe it with the soft cloth.

Make sure that before doing so, you switch off your laptop and remove all the loose components like pen drive or memory card else they will get stuck in between screen and keyboard.   

You can use this same technique to clean the Keyboard as well; make sure that when you are cleaning up the edges of keyboard, there is no sticky stuff left behind because if any plastic keycap gets stuck under one of them while closing down your laptop, then consider yourself lucky if only you have access to all those keys which contain nothing important (like function keys and power keys)

Clean The Rest Of Your Laptop With Soft Cloth

Once you are done with cleaning the display or keyboard, you can now start exposing other parts of your laptop by turning it upside down.

It’s a good idea to remove all the screws (if any) so that you have access to everything inside and don’t need to exert extra force in order to remove out something which is deep-seated under the keyboard or beneath plastic bezel.

Also try not touch any of those exposed (or even covered) hardware components; just clean those areas with a soft cloth after spraying some compressed air directly on them. Note: If there is an removable battery, then take it off before starting this procedure because sometimes there is a chance of short circuiting which may harm your laptop in the worst possible way.

Once you have finished removing all the dust and dirt from inside, replace the battery (if it’s removable) and the screws after putting back all those components which you have removed for cleaning purposes.

Always remember to unplug your laptop before commencing any kind of cleaning work because there is always a possibility of electric shock when working with hardware on any computer. If under warranty, try not to tinker with any parts in order to avoid voiding it while if out of warranty, then don’t worry; just keep these tips in mind whilst performing this procedure or seek professional help .
