My 600M runs hot. I don't know why. I found if I kept it tilted on a book or something, it'll run a few degrees cooler. My fan on the bottom seems kind of dusty so how do I go about cleaning it?
 
Buy a bottle of compressed can air and spray it into the fan when its working, should help get rid of the dust.

Wouldn't the dust just go into the system then?

Probably... but hopefully it'll break it up enough that it'll come out, too.
 
Unless you think opening your laptop up is a safer way ... but i wouldnt recommend it. I do the compressed air thing all the time with My HP ZX5000 and the dust comes right out. If you spray it when the fan isnt on, then you may have a problem with the dust getting into the system.
