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.
2. We purchase high quality parts from trusted suppliers. These are the manufacturers.

If you need a MacBook for work and you don't want to be behind schedule, trust us and you won't regret it!

If you notice that yours has been getting very hot and noisy lately, the problem is most likely a clogged cooling system. On average, you need to clean your Macbook from dust once a year. And once every 2-3 years, it is also desirable to replace the thermal paste.

Overheating problem

One of the worst enemies of the MacBook is dust. It clogs into the radiator of the cooling system and the fans cannot cool the radiator, as they blow on the dust, and not on the radiator grill. The photo below shows an example of a grille clogged with dust, as well as a grille after cleaning (left and right, respectively). Due to overheating, it becomes problematic to work on it - applications that used to work quickly begin to blunt. And you can't sit on your knees with him.

Often, due to the large amount of dust, the fans begin to crack. The fact is that the cooler blades during rotation can touch the dust, which has strayed into a lump, resembling a felt boot in structure. Also, as a result of constant overheating, thermal paste loses its thermal conductivity properties. Because of this, the heat from the chips (processor, video chip, chipset) is not efficiently removed to the radiator, which, in turn, can lead to failure of the chips themselves.

All summer long, there is a 15% discount on prevention!

What is thermal paste and why is it needed

Thermal grease is a special gel-like substance that is "responsible" for removing heat from the chip (processor, video chip, chipset) to the radiator (something like coolant in a car radiator). If the thermal paste dries out, then the heat transfer process deteriorates, and the computer, meanwhile, starts to get very hot.

In our work, we use only high-quality Keratherm KP12 or Microsi thermal pastes (Apple's official thermal paste). Due to the high thermal conductivity of these thermal pastes, the best results are achieved in reducing the temperature on the processor chip and the entire system as a whole.

Is it possible to do prophylaxis immediately with me?

Cleaning your MacBook or cleaning from dust with the replacement of thermal paste is done right at the client within 20-40 minutes, depending on the computer model. Cleaning iMacs takes longer, but can be done in a few hours. We kindly ask you to call in advance and arrange your visit with us. Phones for communication: 8-495-645-12-43, 8-916-642-65-66.

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.

Sometimes preventive maintenance is required. For example, cleaning iron from dust. This is an important part of prevention. Even 10 years ago, it was possible to meet breakdowns associated with a large accumulation of dust inside the system unit or laptop. Dust envelops the contacts, after which a short circuit occurs. Today, such problems are rare, especially in Apple products, but no one is immune from contamination.

The cooler (fan) of the microprocessor requires special attention. Dust clogs the blades, which, in turn, slow down, the processor starts to heat up. From overheating, the processor works worse and eventually stops working altogether.

Today we will show you how to clean the insides of your Macbook Air yourself. The same actions are recommended for other models of Apple laptops.

Macbook Air cleaning algorithm

1. It is necessary to put the laptop on a soft cloth with the monitor down. Then remove the bottom cover of your Macbook Air. Pentalobe screws are used here.
2. It is required to carefully clean the dust cover itself.
3. Disconnect and remove the battery. Dust off with dry microfiber. You need to wipe the bed under the battery. Contacts can be gently wiped with an alcohol solution and then wiped dry with cotton swabs.
4. Blow off the dust inside the Mac itself with a compressor or vacuum cleaner. If these devices are not available, it is recommended to use a large makeup brush. It is better to shake off the dust on the street (balcony) or in a room with a good hood.
5. It is necessary to disable the cable that connects the Input/Output Board to the motherboard. It is located next to the cooler. It is recommended to use a special plastic plate-stupir. If it is not there, then a plasticine spatula or a wooden stick for manicure will do. It is not necessary to peel off the rubber band from the cooler.
6. Next, carefully remove the SSD drive (it can be removed easily).
7. Remove the cooler carefully. Fan screws should not be mixed with Macbook Air cover screws. Outwardly, they are similar, but they have different carvings.
8. The cooler needs to be thoroughly cleaned. If necessary, wipe with alcohol. Radiator connecting the cooler and the processor. It is recommended to clean it with a toothbrush.
