Alexander. Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Besides hoovering the ventilation, what cleaning products have you been using to clean your screen and other parts of your gadget? Do you think its important to keep electronics free from dirt? Why or why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 If you're using physical copies instead of downloads, then it's crucial to keep it clean. Dirt can really screw up your gam play. For discs I just use a lens wipe like I would use on my glasses. It does it perfectly. But don't ever use one of those lens cleaning discs for the laser inside your system with the little brush thing on it. All it will do is scratch the laser which will force you to have to either replace the laser or get another console. With cartridges, even though it says not to, I use the best cleaning solution I can find and a Q-Tip. Very gently I clean the points on the game then use the other end, or a whole new Q-Tip to clean as much of the fluid off, then let it sit and dry for at least 2 hours. I've saved a lot of games this way. DC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 I have a can of air spray that I use to spray away the grime from my laptop and I use a cloth to wipe any remnants off of my laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 If you fail to keep your gaming gadgets clean, it's definitely going to impact negatively on the console or PC which might cause damage or malfunctioning of the electronics. Dust makes most electronics to overheat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyPowers Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 @The Blackangel Awesome advice, thanks! I use that canned air stuff and just wipe down the outside of the console. To clean my LCD screen, I just use a dry cloth most of the time. I use glasses cloths on discs too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I have purchased one small vaccum cleaner recently. That allows the dust to collect through the machine. And you can then clean the smallest area of the desktop, laptop and console using it. And the best part is that it makes less noise too. So on that context I'd refer anyone to buy such small vaccum cleaner for cleaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaceyPowers Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 @skyfire @The Blackangel @xXInfectedXx @killamch89 How often do you clean your console? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 It depends on how often I use it. I go through phases where I only want to play one console. When I'm in one of those phases, I clean the console a few times a week. If it's a disc machine then I clean the disc every other use. I'm pretty meticulous about keeping my consoles in the best condition I can. The NES is almost as old as I am, so it needs some serious TLC.

What methods do you use to clean your Laptop? Exactly which is the safest way to clean an electrical appliance in your opinion? How do you go about cleaning your Keyboard? Thank you!

UleTheVee Posted April 5, 2019 Share Posted April 5, 2019 I often send my stuff for cleaning every 1 or two months. If it isn't enough, I got a vacuum cleaner as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this something you would recommend to other gamers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO yeah. How much do they charge you for the service? I'm guessing you live in or close to Mexico unless you pay for international shipping. What are the costs if you don't mind me asking?
