Fall Cleaning


If you've been in Beijing for more than a year, the inside of your computer looks worse than the one in the included image. The exhaust fumes and general pollution are bad enough as it is, but the dust brought in by the autumn winds can wreak havoc on your computer.

Large amounts of dust can clog up your computer's ventilation. When that happens, your system can heat up so much that it may shutdown suddenly without warning. It does this as a safety measure to avoid damage to heat sensitive components. Some computers, unfortunately lack this feature... when they overheat they may be damaged beyond repair.

If you're using a desktop, it's not too difficult to open it up and clean it out. Of course, you'll want to turn it off, ground yourself, and avoid using anything that attracts static electricity. We suggest using a can of compressed air, available at most places computer hardware is sold.

If you're hesitant to open your own computer, or if you have a laptop, contact us to have your system cleaned out. It can help extend the life of your computer and keep it running at full capacity.
