No we just use some compressed air every week or two to blow out to dust....

Some of the techs know what they are doing but they are in such a hurry that they forget things. As to doing it yourself, just get some cans of compressed air and clean it out.

Depends on which laptop and heatsink you mean. It's easily accesible on my 8500.
