Dust Free Computer

Most of just forget to clean our internal computer. One buys a computer and left it on a corner till it get dusty, dirty and oily. Even for gamers they just leave it rather then cleaning it, but for some just cleaning the outside is just to make the PC look new. Computers were designed to exhaust chip-damaging heat generated by the Power Supply unit, VGA Cards and CPU’s. Fans and vents, which were clogged with dust, will lead to overheating, erratic PC behavior, noisy computer, and even complete malfunction of the computer.

Computer Screen.
LCD Cleaner
Your LCD or CRT screen is probably with touch-print or worse yesterday’s pizza on it.
Use a commercial LCD screens cleaner that comes in a spray bottle and includes a special cloth for all my LCD monitors, LCD TVs, and laptop screens.

Follow these steps to safely clean your Computer Screen :-
a. Wipe the dust off the monitor with a soft, lint-free cloth.
b. Dampen a sponge or lint-free cloth with water. (Be sure to rinse out all the excess moisture.)
c. Rub the screen's surface gently. (Careful: Don't get any excess liquid on or inside the monitor.)
d. Let the monitor dry completely before closing the lid!
To help prevent the stains, consider storing the soft lint-free cloth that you use to clean the monitor inside the laptop, between the keyboard and screen.

Avoid using detergent that contains strong chemicals (acid or alkaline). Don't use abrasive powders.


Put a Shine on your mouse.

Use the same technique with your mouse, which you should clean on all sides. Mouse pick up a lot of gunk on their undersides, so just scrape off anything that's accumulated there. If you’re still using a non-optical mouse that uses a ball, open it up, clean off the ball with the damp towel, and use a Q-Tip to clean off the rollers inside. Alcohol works for rollers that are excessively dirty.


Dust Inside Computer.

CPU
You use compressed air from a local hardware shop would do the trick. Dust-Off is a good brand, try getting a environment free compress air. Open up your PC's casing and take it outside if there's an excessive amount of dust. Give it a few quick blasts from the can with the goal of getting all the dust out of the CPU. Extended spraying is a no-no, as the air that comes out is quite cold and can cause condensation to build up on electronic parts if you hold down the spray button for too long. Use the nozzle straw attachment to get to hard-to-reach places like under the motherboard, CPU and small fans.


Clean your keyboards.

Use the straw attachment to clean out your keyboard and also a small brush. You could also use a mini-vacuum. Next you'll want to clean off the surface of the keyboard. Most are pretty tough, so you can use a regular household cleanser to do the job.

Don't spray 409 directly onto the keyboard, but lightly dampen a cleaning rag or paper towel with the 409 and wipe it down gently. You don't want liquid dripping between the keypads. You can use a Q-Tip moistened with alcohol to clean anything that has dripped down between the keys.


Please be sure to switch off the Computer unit before carrying out this practice. And don’t touch the PCB board’s with out grounding yourself, this may cause static and damaging the chips.
