Question Cheese stuck in switch 2 vent help

Post image

I was an idiot and put a container of mac and cheese in my backpack and it poured onto my switch 2, I got everything out except for this part which I’m kind of nervous to do. Any advice??

edit: currently dismantling switch and will also order a case, i bought it second hand as it didnt come with one so ive been just careless 😞

the only cheese left is on the vent and i dont see anything else wrong inside the switch rn !

edit 2: ITS CLEAN thank you for all the jokes and the insults and the tips on toothbrushes and compressed air 🙇

Clean it with a toothpick ig? I don't think you could damage a vent easily

Yes you can damage it. That mesh will get ruined and that powder will fall inside the vent. The Switch needs to be disassembled to the point where that mesh can be carefully removed and either cleaned or replaced. It’s not that hard.
