Hi, I'm just starting out with Duster-Cans, specifically the Dust-Off by Falcon. Since I've never cleaned laptops before, it feels like I'm learning everything for the first time. The issue is that the demo I watched assumes everyone already knows these basics, so I really need a simple breakdown of the answers in easy-to-understand language. Thanks.

This might be worth a read;

Even when tilted, the outlet (the part of the nozzle that triggers) should face upwards, shouldn't it? You only change the can once you've emptied its contents.
Not all laptops are built the same way regarding vents and air intakes. Ideally, take apart the laptop until you reach the cooling fans and heatsink assembly. Then verify that all dust and debris have been removed from the device and the fan(s).
Lenovo offers several mobile computing devices in their IdeaPad series, both older and newer. Which one is yours? I meant including the model and SKU for your specific Lenovo IdeaPad. Look for a sticker or label under the laptop if you need help identifying it.

Luftij appreciates the link you shared regarding storage and shelf life!
Same with your response to #4.
I’m still confused about your reply to #3 since during outdoor tests, the long-red straw would tilt downward each time I pressed the spraying tab.
SKU: there’s only an MTM and SN on the underside label.
The MTM is 81DE017BUS.
Below is my laptop — but the video you linked is too complex for me to understand. I’m looking for something that clearly demonstrates how to clean the fan, especially if figuring out the heatsink assembly would be difficult.
