on 11/2/2007 @ Step9, try using a can of compressed CO2 meant for cleaning computer parts, instead

on 7/31/2007 I would caution about Step number 9. Using a vacuum or air blower is a poor idea. Vacuums tend to have static charges, as well, are too large for the job, increasing the chance of damaging internal components of the computer. The only time a vacuum should be used, is from a distance, to pull away larger dust bunnies that have accumulated, even then, I would suggest compressed air(from a distance, and held upright). Air Blowers(air compressors) should never be used, as many of them contain condensation, and this would result in a spraying a mist of water onto electrical components. Furthermore, air compressors tend to have too much power for delicate computer parts.
