Had a look around on the net but couldn't really find much on this particular subject... Just wondering if there is any form of servicing or general maintenance that could/should be done to prolong the life of a macbook. I had a piece of shit PC laptop for a period of time when my powerbook was stolen. The fan stopped working & when I opened it up it was totally clogged up with dust & fluff. I'm just wondering if there's any form of maintenance that can be performed at home to keep macbooks in tip top condition before something simple like a bit of fluff takes the fan out, damages it meaning having to replace it, or even worse, over-heats the processor and causes expensive damage or having to replace the laptop altogether.
I know laptops & most electronic equipment ultimately have an expiry date (nothing lasts forever). But if there's steps that can be taken to get the most out of my macbook, and more importantly, not have it die mid set, I'd be happy to know these steps.
To get things started I just read in another forum that apparently it's best to not turn your macbook off if you use it every night only to turn it on the next morning, instead let it go to sleep as this can save wear on parts needed to turn the machine on.
