Laptop's Better!

My reaction when it worked.

Good news! I got some aerosol last night and cleaned up my laptop, and I fixed it! I'm so glad my laptop is back to normal, and I don't have to deal with those thermal shutdowns anymore. What's great is I didn't even have to open the bottom, I just blew the compressed air into the fan on the bottom and I got out enough of the dust to get my laptop working like normal. My laptop's performance is much better now, and I can finally play Saints Row 4 without any problems.

However, now that I got the laptop clean I need to make sure it doesn't get dirty again. I'll have to do monthly cleanings to keep this problem from happening again. There's more I have to do to keep it clean, for instance, I need to keep the environment around my laptop clean so dust can't enter the laptop. The fact that I didn't do this before seems to be the main reason the problem got so bad to begin with. Therefore, cleaning my desk is something I've got to take care of as well. A general cleanup of my room will probably be the first order of business over the upcoming March break.
