I simply put the nozzle of the rocket-blower to the vents of my laptop and squeezed it to blow air into the laptop, which forces all the dust outwards usually.
However, when I did it today (for some reason I did it with the laptop still turned on

), after I lifted up my laptop there was some black marks on my wooden table which matched the air vents. I'm not sure if that was created from some sort of motor 'burnout'. Looking back I guess if I forced air towards the fan while it was spinning, it could of caused the motor to blow or something?
Thanks once again, I feel like such an idiot
