    I think I probably need to try and open my laptop up to get rid of dust....it has to be causing my current issues with the fan and bad performance not discernible from task manager. I'm not handy whatsoever though, I don't know where to start after googling instructions.

    Amazon won't ship any to Ireland.

    A PC/laptop repair shop might sell you one.

    It's decent stuff, just read the instructions on the can and you won't get any residue.

    i DID read the instructions,and it still intermittently sprayed residue,you just cant take that chance with motherboards and graphic cards.

    Aldi/Lidl sell it all the time. I'm pretty sure Dunnes do too..
    It's not a PC specific item...

    Easons (I think it was €4)
    Any Camera/Photography shop should sell it as it has been used to clean them way before PC's.
    Many office suppliers should also sell it..

    Argos sell them

    Sorry to bump this but it seems impossible to find this in shops at the moment. I'm looking for a can to clean out my laptop and don't wanna order online and have to wait but i've been looking in loads of shops the last week but have yet to find a can so may have to do that. I wouldnt spend over €10.

    I havent been near a PC world but iv tried tesco, dealz, aldi, lidl, D.I.D and a few others but have yet to come accross any. The manager in dealz said that particular shop didnt sell them but the bigger ones might. Don't want to have a wasted journey into town if its not gonna be there (I know its listed on their website but doesn't mean its in stock)

    Anyone know some places that definitly have them in stock at the moment?

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Peats and Maplins have them, but it's probably more than €10...

    There over 20 euro a can in our local maplin.
    If you can, buy them online. Better value.
