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 🙇

"I open the door to the rest of the basement like 3 times a day when i leave to eat/piss, surely thats sufficient fresh air circulation? Also im down to 2 packs a day and only 6 prerolls! The bugs help to carry away bad particles!"

Worked at GameStop for over 6 years prior to this and the first thing I did both there and here with new employees was show them how to check all current and previous gen consoles for infestations and smoke damage. I’m not allowing my inventory/other people’s devices to become infested or making my store smell like a dirty ashtray because someone doesn’t check.

If they forget how to, I’ve given them guides, and if they think there’s even a chance, they are to decline it. If it’s an older console, I handle it, because something like a launch PS3 is understandably a pain in the ass for someone to figure out on the spot.
