NEVER OPEN UP LAPTOPS

Unless you want the most pain in the loving ass job or reconnecting a million tiny ribbon cables.

Get a can of air and ream the thing out.

I did it like 5 times already. It doesn't take a long time and I only had to reconnect like 4 ribbon cables.

And besides if you use a can of air to blow the dust out you can risk just stuffing the dust further down inside your laptop.

For some reason my ribbon cables had one plastic end and one bare end, not a plastic on plastic connection. They were only held in place by pressure. Hence supreme pain in the ass.
