[QUOTE="Trolle, post: 1611138, member: 86801"] I know an electrical engineer that does small jobs on the side. One of those is cleaning computers. I told him that my MBP is from 2008 and I was impressed that it still works great (never had a laptop last this long). He recommended that I get it cleaned as it may help with its longevity. For about $70 he offers to clean all the major components and add new thermal paste. My computer runs fine and I don't have any problems with it, other than space issues on a 500 GB internal drive. I know that since it doesn't have any problems maybe I should tempt fate, but on the other hand, maybe it'll help my machine last a little longer. I don't have any experience with this so thought I'd ask the forum (I did have an old Toshiba I'd have to dismantle and remove the dust from the inside). [/QUOTE]
