Satellite notebook. Can I remove the back? I have never messed with notebooks and don't have it here to look at. Can I do this? Thank You!

It should come apart fairly easily. You won't have much room to play around inside it (which I wouldn't do if it's running fine). Get a can of compressed air for removing dust.

To cleanse the monitor make sure you only use cleaning wipes that are specifically designed to clean an LCD monitor. You should be able to find those at practically any office/computer store such as Staples, etc.

Well, I suppose that would potentially remove any dust...

Give Andavari lots of money and maybe even consider getting K a DVD-RW drive.

It's nice to see our explosion expert visiting more often.

but yeah opening up a notebook to clean the screen sounds really risky, my only advice is if you do it be extra extra careful.

I was talking about the outside of the screen. Are you talking about the inside of it? Maybe not.
