Thank you, but it's not about the keyboard. It's about these insanely tiny, nano-like holes of the speakers.

?

Use compressed air on your "tiny, nano-like holes of the speakers."

did not realize I had to spell it out,

Good luck, report back on your success or failure.

Ok, but I did some research before I posted this (in this forum too).

And there were advice to be careful. Some holes are just decoration (= no problem to blow air into it) but some holes are (surprise surprise) real holes with the speakers beneath it.

Problem:

a) Possible you blow that dirt just deeper into the case

b) Possible you damage the speaker beneath it

true?

Common sense says you are not blowing air into anything, you are using the compressed air like a brush across the holes at a steep angle in an effort to lift the debris out...

Do you know what kind of material is blocking the holes?

In the image it appears the same particulate matter is loose on the keyboard as well as on the reddish surface on which the computer is sitting.
