Is it hard to dust an Apple Macbook?

You must understand that in order to perform this procedure, you will have to disassemble the entire laptop. The fact is that Apple technology is difficult to fix - especially mobile PCs. And here you can not do without professional equipment and tools. Without them, not every specialist will be able to carry out this procedure. Moreover, related skills will not be superfluous. In this regard, we strongly advise you not to try to restore the device's performance yourself. There is much more risk of breaking it than returning it to its normal state, without dust and fan noise.

A separate story - instructions that you can find on the Internet. Alas, they do not replace knowledge and experience in carrying out such work. Moreover, not all of them are written by professionals. On the Web, instructions are often rewritten by the authors of different resources, so a huge amount of information is subsequently simply lost. For a person without knowledge, this is a huge minus. And that's just one of the many reasons why you shouldn't try to dust your MacBook. Where better to immediately contact "RemFOX" - to our specialists who face this procedure literally every day. This way you can save both your own time and money - because if you break it while trying to clean it from dust, the repair will cost more.

Why us?

As noted above, a fairly large number of service centers operate in Moscow, and many offer repair of Apple equipment. So why among this multitude you should choose our company? The specialists working in RemFOX and the availability of expensive professional equipment are far from all of our advantages, so we suggest that you familiarize yourself with some others:

  1. Before proceeding with the repair, our masters will make a complete diagnosis of the device. This is the only way to determine how much the repair will cost.

Dusting your Macbook at home

No matter how carefully the user would handle a laptop or desktop PC, over time, the internal components of any computer need to be cleaned. This is necessary for the normal operation of devices, because dust, dirt and other foreign particles can damage the performance of the computer. Let's take a closer look at how to clean a Macbook yourself at home.

What cleaning products and tools will be needed?

To clean the case and computer components, you will need the following items (purchase them in advance):

Buy 1-2 pairs of thick cleaning gloves. Try not to come into contact with the skin with the cleaning products used, so as not to provoke an allergy;

  • Purchase any office equipment cleaner that comes in a spray bottle. So it will simply be distributed over the surface of the PC, without the possibility of excess liquid getting into the case;
  • Dry clean rag or napkin. You will need it to clean the screen, keyboard and back cover of the laptop;
  • tassel;
  • Crosshead screwdriver;
  • Thermal paste.

Chassis cleaning

Make sure the device is turned off before taking any action. Otherwise, while wiping your laptop, you may inadvertently start a program or process. Go to the main menu of MacOS and click on the item "Shutdown":


Don't forget to pull out the power cable for safety. Do this even if you're just trying to wipe your PC with a dry cloth.


Wipe the screen. Apply a small amount of cleaning agent to a rag and only then begin to wipe the computer display from dust in the direction from the top corner to the bottom. Thus, you will not leave ugly stripes and streaks.

Note! A microfiber cloth is best for cleaning the display and the entire computer case. It does not collect static and does not leave small lint on the screen.

If necessary, clean the keyboard and computer case. To get crumbs and dust particles from the sides of the buttons, we recommend using a small brush for painting. It perfectly "sweeps" all the dirt, making the keyboard new and clean. Using the same brush, you can clean the connectors.


Do not use anything to clean the trackpad. This can disrupt its coverage and mouse responsiveness. After cleaning the external components of the PC, you can proceed to remove dust from the hardware components.

Cleaning the cooler and replacing thermal paste

Cleaning your Macbook also involves removing dust clods from the cooler and replacing the thermal paste. To open the case, first turn off the laptop and unplug it. Then remove the battery.


Remember, to speed up your computer, you should also pay attention to the computer's file system. To optimize the work, you additionally need to clean up unnecessary files and check the security of your PC using an antivirus.

To open the case, use a Phillips screwdriver and a screwdriver in the shape of a six-pointed star. To open the back cover, unscrew all the screws on the back cover of the computer one by one. Note that they are all different, so try to arrange them in such a way that you do not forget their location later.

Open the lid and set it aside. Now, using a Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the screws that hold each of the coolers and remove the fans. Open their lid and clean without using liquid. You can take a regular brush.


Also, wipe the inside of the computer cover with a dry cloth. Replace the thermal paste by gently applying it to the area around the fan blades. Build your PC and start it up. After cleaning, the computer should stop heating up, spontaneously shut down or slow down.

Fair, not too high or too low. There should be prices on the Service website. Necessarily! without "asterisks", clear and detailed, where it is technically possible - the most accurate, final.

If spare parts are available, up to 85% percent of complex repairs can be completed in 1-2 days. Modular repairs take much less time. The site indicates the approximate duration of any repair.

Warranty and Liability

A warranty should be given for any repair. Everything is described on the site and in the documents. A guarantee is self-confidence and respect for you. A 3-6 month warranty is good and enough. It is needed to check the quality and hidden defects that cannot be detected immediately. You see honest and realistic terms (not 3 years), you can be sure that you will be helped.

Half the success in Apple repair is the quality and reliability of spare parts, so a good service works directly with suppliers, there are always several reliable channels and a warehouse with proven spare parts for current models so that you do not have to waste extra time.

Free diagnostics

This is very important and has already become a rule of good form for the service center. Diagnosis is the most difficult and important part of the repair, but you should not pay a dime for it, even if you do not repair the device after it.

Service repair and delivery

A good service values ​​your time, so it offers free shipping. And for the same reason, repairs are carried out only in the workshop of the service center: it can be done correctly and according to technology only at a prepared place.

Convenient schedule

If the Service works for you, and not for itself, then it is always open! absolutely. The schedule should be convenient in order to be in time before and after work. Good service works on weekends and holidays. We are waiting for you and working on your devices every day: 9:00 - 21:00

The reputation of professionals consists of several points

To give you an idea of ​​what you need.
Will try to solve the problem. In most cases, from the description, you can understand what happened and how to fix the problem.

Users of any laptop model are faced with such a problem as dust in the keyboard and or in their PC. Cleaning it up is not always easy. A device like the Macbook has been heavily protected by the company to keep dust out. It is not always possible to disassemble it.

Notebook preparation

To start any dust cleaning work, including Macbook Pro, you need to turn off the device, and then remove the back cover. For this MacBook, you will need to unscrew 10 bolts, however, their number may vary with different models of the device. When unscrewing them, be extremely careful. Do not lose or confuse them with others.

After performing these operations, remove the cover. The lid is made of aluminum, which makes it pleasant to the touch. The back of the cover has detailed instructions on how to remove it.

To turn off the power system, disconnect the battery cable from the charging port, as well as from the main board.

To ensure a complete cleaning of the MacBook Pro from dust, you need to remove the hard drive. This should be done very carefully, without damaging anything from the contents of the laptop.

The cooling system must be removed and cleaned. Without this stage, you can not make a single cleaning of the MacBook from dirt and dust. After that, disconnect the radiator. Now remove the SSD drive itself. After removing it, you can see a huge amount of dust that needs to be cleaned.

For the cleaning itself, you need to use special brushes. In severe cases, a solution is used that removes dirt well, but does not harm the metal.

How to clean the keyboard from dust?

Method 1

If one of the keys sticks, you should not run to the repair shop, because this problem can be fixed on your own. However, for this you need to buy a can of compressed air.

When cleaning with this can, it is important to have a special tube for air distribution. The distance between them should be approximately 1.5 cm.

Flip the laptop 75 degrees and spray air over the keys. This must be done from left to right.

other methods

  1. Shake the keyboard lightly over the trash can. Usually a lot of crumbs and insects accumulate there. Although in Macbook Pro all this can hardly get through, it is worth cleaning it in this way.
  2. A cotton rag can help with cleaning, but do not use synthetics.
  3. You can also use special wet wipes for glass.
  4. You can also take a cotton swab, moisten it with window cleaning solution and clean the keyboard. Then wipe with a dry stick or cloth.

Disinfection


After disinfection, let the keyboard dry for 5-10 minutes.

If you clean your device from dust at least once every 3 months, then your device will work stably. The keyboard should be cleaned once a week. Everything is thought out on MacBooks, and dirt does not always accumulate in them very much. And I also want to warn you that when using a balloon and a MacBook, you need to be careful. Disinfection should also be carried out regularly, as harmful microbes and bacteria regularly accumulate there. We hope you don't have any questions. But if you have them, then write them in the comments. And also we will be grateful for the like and repost of this information to your friends.

Prevention of a laptop is more difficult and more responsible than maintenance of the system unit of a conventional PC. The compactness of the body, the diminutiveness and fragility of the components require professionalism and do not forgive mistakes.

If we are talking about Apple technology, then in addition to skills, special tools are required in order to open the case. Therefore, it is much easier and more reliable to entrust this matter to people involved in the repair and maintenance of Apple computers professionally.

The main preventive measure is to clean your Macbook from dust. To do this, the device must be opened and partially disassembled.
