Cleaning inside of A4000
« on: March 19, 2007, 06:38:08 PM »
My A4000 is a bit dusty inside. I want to clean it to help it to live as long as possible, but I'm not sure of the best way to do it. If I use a can of compressed air, could conductive particles actually be blown on to components and potentially cause short circuits? If I use a dust buster to suck up the dust, could that suck components off the boards? Is there a better way than either of these to minimise the risk of causing damage?

Thanks for all the advice! I'll get some soft nylon paint brushes, some compressed air and some contact cleaner at the weekend. Do you think it's worth removing the motherboard and dusting underneath it? AFAIK this has never been done with this Amiga.
