 Dust
Build up Inside Your Computer Power Supply
By

Free computer Education
The
Computer Power supply is the most important component in a computer as it will
not run without it. The power supply is often taken for granted and is usually
neglected from the computer maintenance schedule. If there is a dust build up it
can cause the power supply to not work to it optimum standards. It may just
simply blow up or make a popping sound with some smoke coming from it, or it can
half heartedly supply a low level amount of power and damage your other computer
components.
The
answer is very simple. You must remove the dust from inside your computers power
supply. If you do get the dust out often it will last for years.
How to remove the dust from your
computer
power supply
You
will need: An air compressor or a disposable compressed air can.
-
Open your computer case. To do it properly read
How to open a computer case safely.
-
Use an
air compressor to blow air through the power supply.
-
You
must blow air through the back of the computer, going into the computer, and
from inside the computer, through the power supply going out.
-
Keep blowing both ways until absolutely no
dust comes out. This is important as you may dislodge a piece of dust and
it may settle somewhere else.
Notes:
-
There are all different shapes and sizes of power
supplies so if yours looks a bit strange, don't worry. They all do the same
thing in the end.
-
Dust on computer fans causes them to run at a
slower speed. Make sure the fan inside the power supply has not got dust on
it. If it has, there is sure to be more inside the computer also.
