I would recommend picking up some canned air from an electronics store (or department). This is better for your electronics, and has a small nozzle for getting in all those hard to reach places:) The reason it is better is because it is not actually air like we breathe and is free of the moisture that is found in regular air. Using an air compressor or anything that moves regular air is also moving moisture with it (amount is related to barometric factors), and being under pressure can force that moisture into the tiniest of places in your electronic components...which could be a bad thing:-( Shorts and sparks and smoke and stuff. So, yeah, I would say pick up a couple of cans of "air" and have at it...but follow the...

So short blasts only:)

Hope this helps!
