I wonder what you guys/gals do to maintain, clean your laptop?..open it up and used a hover to suck all the dust? using a baby wipe tissue to clean the monitor? or put it in a washing machine and tumble dryer? :smileygrin: :smileygrin:

You can get cans of compressed air that do a good job of blasting the dust off. Does tend to blow the dust onto areas that didn't have any before though.

Can't see the image Eugene.

I use Storex for the screen, they make good screen wipes.
For the keyboard I use the small handheld hoover.

Same here with my PCG-FR315S.:smileysad: But a hoover has helped a little bit. The temperature is approx 3-4 degrees lower as before.

If you open your Vaio to blast/suck the dust away will it invalidate the warranty?

 If you open your Vaio

will it invalidate the warranty?

Yes

But you can blast/suck the dust in/out from the air slit.
