Thanks for that!Don't let the fan motor free spin either.
Canned air or vacuum cleaner, if the fan spins too fast the counter EMF in the motor will burn out the solid state circuitry in the motor. Use a tooth pick or similar to hold the motor stationary. Failure to do this will result in a ruined fan, guaranteed.
In either case static electricity can build up, moving air is an ESD generator. If you are worried about it ground yourself and the laptop as best you can.
