    haha I got that with my tower PC that's hooked to the TV so basically it's always on and just so happens to sit right by the wall to my room... it's graphics card fan like's to act up at times, it's soo annoying when trying to sleep D:

    Thankfully cleaning fixes it.

    Sure however don't worry a whole lot, it's not like one false move and it'll burst into flames xD They are made to be sturdy, unplug, pop the door off, don't touch anything metal and use an air can... everything should be fine. :)

    If you're really not comfortable though, just spray some air over the fan vents, at least it'll help get some out and it's really all you should do for laptops if you don't know what your doing as they are much harder to open. Or consider just taking it to a computer shop, it costs but if all that dust were play a role in killing your computer well that'll cost too and much more. :)

    The problems start to arise when people start getting curious and touching everything... unhooking stuff etc. Using water to clean, using water while it's plugged in... using water while it plugged in and turned on... seriously don't ever do that please lol, it's dangerous.

    Sometimes that happens, it just works itself out. Although it could also mean the fan has died, if your sure it's still working then awesome. :)
