Question:

Can canned air be used on these electronic items?

I have never used canned air. Besides computer fan slots and keyboard tops, can canned air be used in these particular circumstances: on pins/where carts are inserted in a gameboy color/advanced or N64, near the lens of a gamecube and on the side grill areas of a gamecube, on a motherboard of any console system? In fact, what are the limits that a can of canned air can be used for, in particular, on computers and game consoles?

Answer:

There are no limits. But, it's always risky. You tend to blow dust into new areas you really don't want it to be.
I don't see why not with the possible exception of the lens assembly area. The suspension system on those could be damaged of knocked out of alignment. I find that a small soft paint brush (bristle not static creating polyester) and a vacuum cleaner can be quicker and more effective. Don
Kill the one I dislike most.
