Every technician's toolbox should contain
a few important pieces of equipment. These items include anti-static
vacuum cleaners, canned air, various solvents, and lint free cloths.
Anti-static vacuum cleaners should be used whenever computer
components are being vacuumed, since normal vacuum cleaners generate
static. This means
that only a vacuum cleaner that is specially certified for use with a
computer should be used. To clean toner from a laser cartridge, an
average vacuum should not be used due to the fine consistency of the
toner particles. In these cases, a vacuum cleaner with a higher level
of filtration is necessary.
Canned air is one of the most useful tools besides lint-free
cloths. If the inside of a computer needs to be dusted out, a
quick pass through with a can of air will make it very clean. If
the outside of a computer case or component needs to be cleaned, a
lint-free cloth with some water and mild soap will make it
look as good as new.
