Dusty PC from a Pentium 3 Pictures
I had to clean a PC from a video shop running win98 it had no rear fan
so it got a little dusty since it was in the shop for about 7 years this was my dustiest and most unliked refurbish job as the amount of dust cleaning with a paint brush done outside was still bad enough with outside wind to get in my eyes and bad for my lungs and by the way 7 year old dust has a bad taste! Mayhaps for the reason the power supply blew up and the hard drive no longer worked -a lesson to not let your PC get over dusty. Enjoy the pictures do you have any as well to share? http://s836.photobucket.com/user/sie...62a68.jpg.html GK |

Enjoy the pictures do you have any as well to share? http://s836.photobucket.com/user/sie...62a68.jpg.html GK Running Win98 is probably what killed it :-) You should open up the power supply, and see if it's full of dust as well. ******* We had a workstation at work, which had a giant hair-ball inside, that blocked airflow from three intake fans. The processor heatsink (rather large compared to one on a PC) got so hot, I still couldn't touch it, ten minute after the power was turned off. It was that hot. The machine itself, was running normally. I opened it up, because "it didn't sound right". The fan noise was abnormal, and that got me curious. This was in an era before cell phone cameras, as otherwise, I would have taken a picture of the hairball. As you'd expect, the person normally sitting at that desk, had long hair. Very long hair. Based on the size of the hairball, I couldn't figure out why they weren't bald. There was that much hair in there. Paul |

It may require pulling everything including CPU and disassembly of the PS. Anything less, I might lay it on its side, optionally while running, and do as much with a vacuum cleaner wand. Worst was one with a parakeet in its cage sitting on top of the computer. |

Enjoy the pictures do you have any as well to share? http://s836.photobucket.com/user/sie...20Dusty%20PC/P... GK I got a PC from a fish-and-chip shop. All the innards were coated with dust, stuck on by a coating of oil. I only had to replace the CPU heatsink, and it works. It's a Core2 quad - still enough grunt to be useful. I cleaned the dust off the other heatsinks with some E85. I left the oil on the other parts - doesn't seem to do any harm. |
