If you open up the computer, take some pictures with your digital camera. That'll really help you if you have to take any parts out of it to replace it! The inside should be (relatively) dust-free, not clogged with lots of dust-bunnies. It's easiest to (carefully!) wipe the dust out of the inside with a cleaning cloth, and use the compressed air on the electronic bits.
