[ The Night Was..... ] I am looking for suggestions for cleaning the "muffin" style fan on the back of my A1000. It has been very quiet since I got it, but lately I notice a dust and grime buildup on the blades etc. Also it has been emmiting sporradically a high pitched noise. So how does one go about cleaning it. I realise I can bring it in to the dealer, but seems kinda dumb just for a bit of dirt. But from experiences with electronic telex machines I used to sell, dirt was the number 1 cause of failures. We used contact cleaner + blower on them but requires a complete disassembly. Any ideas? derick@garfield.UUCP derick@garfield.mun.cdn derick@garfield.edu
