Laptops are most susceptible to rodent invasions since they are stored inside cupboards or cabinets....I'm facing exactly the same problem...this time its ants...I have absolutely no idea on how to get them out of my laptops fan sink....I got advice to use an air duster but i think that will only push them further inside rather than pull the out...Got any better ideas????????

^^^ dafaq did i just read??? :rofl:

coming to the problem, if it's in warranty, it wud be bettr to call cc and tell them you need servicing for the laptop..
if not, open the back panel and clean all the ants manually..
