[QUOTE="KevinJS, post: 1735149, member: 373988"] I'm probably paranoid, but I try not to recommend compressed air to clean out ports. My suggestion would be a vacuum cleaner, with which you can get a good enough seal using your hand. Use of vacuum, rather than pressure, prevents any debris from being blown further into the computer. If you have to use compressed air, blowing along the port to create suction inside it is another way around it. The vacuum cleaner trick has been quite successful in cleaning out the tiny microphone hole in the top edge of many iPads. Of course, if nothing else works, then go for it with the compressed air can. NEVER use compressed air from a compressor. The moisture content is concentrated and will probably destroy the computer.
