Last night while digging through one of my camera cases for Halloween,
I ran across my SLR lens cleaning kit, and out fell the Air Blower brush.
(Hmmmm) I thought way could I use that on my machine’s Board Sensor rather than Compressed Air.
It would be easier to control and less likely to damage anything or blow the Dust into the electronics of the machine.
I have two in my kit, the one with a brush and one without either type would probally work.
In the Instruction pack for the Blower brush one, it says it does not leave any foreign particles and Dust; it saves the lens from scratches.
It is essential for cameras and optics, it is are also ideal for maintaining computer and other electronic equipment.
--- Sounds good to me.

Their easy to find at Camera Shops or in the Camera Dept. at Meijers or Walmart,
I've even seen them in Craft store like Hobby Lobby and Online for $3 or $4 dollars.

Anyway it's just a thought :wink:
