Warning: That guy who said to just use a vacuum on your laptop vents ruined my motherboard.

My buddy Mark swore by using a vacuum on the air intake to suck out dust, but after I did it once last Tuesday my fan started rattling and now the whole thing smells like burnt plastic when I play Fortnite, has anyone actually gotten this hack to work without breaking stuff?

lol yeah that "pro tip" has been floating around forever. vacuums create static electricity which is basically a death sentence for computer parts. your poor laptop is probably cooking itself now RIP

Whoa, vacuums pull out thermal pads too, not just dust.
