*SLAPS* cleaning it with a vacum cleaner produces static electricity and therefor might damage ur computer... take a guess of what mightve happened.

Big Slaps for me to then.....

Mmmmmm Interesting, I also use the vaccy to do my computer cleaning! But I dont actually let it touch the comp. I use a nice new clean paint brush to lift the dust then the vaccy pics it up. I use one of the fancy 'Dyson' brand vaccies and it really does suck! Suck the dust that is!

yeah but still it has the potential to damage it, what u guys should do to clean it is buy a can of compressed air.

Watch out with compressed air, alot of it has chemicals that cause major problems for some people (if nothing else carbon monoxide from gas compressors).
