Preventive Maintenance -- MacBook Pro 15" (R) [late 2013]

ALAN CRESSLER -

My Problem

No problem -- Preventive Maintenance -- My MacBook Pro runs about 15-hrs/day and I noticed dust build-up at its ventilation ports after roughly 2-years of operation. In addition, I use a utility (iStat Menus) to monitor core temps and noticed the temps were running higher than typical, though well within safe range.

My Fix

I removed the back plate (cover) and, sure enough, there was dust accumulation where one would expect, including on the fans' blades. I used a vacuum cleaner to take care of business.

My Advice

Preventive Maintenance !
