$39.99 from Best Buy thats if you live in the Usa otherwise if you are Australian, I would say somewhere like JBHifi or something like that could stock a similar product.

 

but would my method still help clearing the fan?

and i think i might invest in 1 of them

 

If there's dust around the fan then yes, it would help. Also moved thread to more appropriate section.

 

It's worth a shot, but focusing on the video you posted. My Dad's friend owns a local computer store, and the techs there actually use a small air compressor to blow out dust buildups. In my opinion, it's less of a risk to bring it to a computer expert and see what they're willing to do rather than using household shock vac.

 

Idk if this will work on your laptop but iv seen a cooling thing you set on your laptop and it has a fan on it. it connects to the computer.
