[QUOTE="DarkestRitual, post: 954838, member: 96273"] Once I popped the back off the MacBook, the fan was easily spotted for cleaning. I didn't remove it or anything, but i blew the dust out in a pretty horizontal way, so I believe most all of it was picked up either by that motion or the cross the bottom and out stream that I jetted in after the fact. My keyboard feels much cleaner, and the spacebar issue I had posted about previously has been resolved. I must have had a crumb or something stuck under there, but it's good now. So if anyone's looking, you can do a fair job by doing that. My CPU temperatures are about 10C cooler right now. [/QUOTE]
