ive noticed my laptop speaker 'grill' is full of grime, i scraped a bit out and each tiny hole has a blob of grime covering it.
I realise its probably not affecting the sound quality much, but still i thought i might give it a wipe - or scrape - but i cant find any way to get to it.
ive seen a tutorial to remove the speaker itself, but it means dismantling the entire laptop and even then it doesnt actually access the 'papery-fabric' stuff that covers the speaker.

there are over a 100 tiny holes gunked up, so i dont really want to scrape each one - plus theres a risk of puncturing it.

any ideas how i can clean it?

(i'm not losing any sleep over this, if its a hassle i just wont bother, just wondered if there was any tips or if anyone knew how to open that bit

thanks

in the past iv used an old toothbrush bristles slightly dipped in Isopropyl alcohol, the tiny bristles will go in the holes, like dabbing in
sort of, now i dismantle laptops if i have to.
I use the vacuum cleaner's hose/brush attachment - gently, no pushing inwards, that seems to keep it clear.

thanks - does it make much difference to the sound quality? is it worth the bother?

theres nothing 'wrong' with the sound - that i notice, anyway
Try it & see? With care, it can't do any harm.
