I had this problem too. I went to Best Buy and they blew in it with a can of air and I watched as this freaking huge dust storm came out of my computer.

That's not really going to help and it might not just be the vent. There might be dust in INSIDE your laptop. I've had cases of that with my Desktop.

Because we all know that mouthes are much more reliable than controlled streams of air!

Seriously tho, go to the store and get a can of air in the morning.
