dust removal
Guys what is the best way to remove dust from the device?
- Feb 03, 2017
If you do attempt to clear dust from the inside the unit, it's important to be careful with the fans. You don't want air to spin the blades. General advice is to hold the fins of the fan before trying to vacuum or run compressed air through the air intake.
Opening the unit also likely voids the warranty.
