Crunch Noise on Screen:

Do you see any rise in the bezel of the laptop, or beneath the keyboard or beneath the trackpad? If so, there is corrosion taking place and you should get this serviced, ASAP. As for cleaning curbs and the like, you would used canned air, blowing it at a distance of about 8 inches.
