Anyone know of a good place that will clean your laptop cheaply?? Might want to put some more RAM in it as well. Any ideas? I'm guessing yongsan would probably do it. Anyone know a reputable, trustworthy shop??? Let me know.

Yongsan is good, but if you're willing to invest time, you can save a lot of money and do it yourself, since most places charge around 30-50 an hour.

There should be instructions online on how to open your laptop, and you shouldn't need to take it completely apart to clean it. Just enough to remove the keyboard (and maybe fan/heatsink) and spray it all with compressed air. If you removed your cpu heatsink, you will need to clean it and apply more thermal paste. Compresed air is around 3,000 and thermal paste shouldn't be much more expensive.

Ram is one of the easiest things to install yourself for most laptops, as there should be only 1 screw holding on a backplate w/ direct access to the ram slots. Check the internet to see what your model can handle, and order it yourself; you'll save a lot of money this way.
