BENCH NOTE
The short answer
Brush or use unlocked cleaning tools on dirty pieces only. A broken component needs repair or replacement; a clean intact component should go straight back into the assembly.
VERIFIED WORKFLOW
Do this in order
- 01
Expose the component
Dust can sit below panels, keyboards, and shields, so disassemble until the marked piece can be handled.
- 02
Move it to the work area
Keep the current repair on the mat so the notebook can track what is present.
- 03
Apply the cleaning tool
Use the available manual cleaning tool; later automation can reduce repetitive cleaning work.
- 04
Recheck its state
A cleaned piece can still be broken. Cleaning and replacement solve different conditions.
Useful progression signals
- Big cleaning rewards repeated manual cleaning.
- Hands Free is tied to purchasing the ultrasonic bath.
- Cleaning a workshop and cleaning a device part are separate actions.
