Does anyone know how the unit deals with this?

Quad Cortex

There are ventilation grills so its a way in, does anyone know if there would be good to open and clean the unit once in a while or just let it be?

Not worth the risk of voiding the warranty tbh

Great point… Thanks for reply. Sometimes good ideas are bad… :grinning_face:

It’s common for electronics manufacturers to apply conformal coating (parylene, etc.) to their circuit boards, which helps protect against dirt, moisture, and other foreign-object-debris (FOD).

I don’t know if this is the case for the QC’s circuit board, and I’m not keen on opening up my unit to find out.

There is a pretty detailed teardown of the QC here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzbKtmEt68E

It doesn’t look like the boards have conformal coating, but I agree there should be no need to open it for dust removal. Keeping liquids out of the vent holes would be a bigger concern for me.

Thanks. I just started thinking about it… Didn’t have any plan of doing it, but just curious what this compatible forum had to say about it.
