Had a customer chew me out for using compressed air on his laptop fans
He said I was just pushing dust deeper into the bearings, and after looking up a teardown video for his model, yeah he was right. I switched to a soft brush and vacuum for laptops now, has anyone else run into this issue with canned air?

Thirty years of doing concrete work and I still forget that air compressors aren't the answer for everything. I blew out a buddy's gaming laptop bearings last year using 90 psi on his fans, felt like a total idiot when the fan started rattling the next week. Now I just use a little paintbrush and hold the laptop upside down while I dust it out. Live and learn I guess.

You ever try one of those electric air dusters? Way less scary than a compressor and still gets the job done fast.
