I have used long Q-tips (not for your ears!) with isopropyl alcohol to reach places I am unable, or unwilling, to disassemble. There are nice stalk lights that make it easier to see where you are touching deep inside the device.
I don't have a particularly dust free environment, but I don't see a need to blow out the dust at the vent end, yet. Finding the intakes and keeping them clean would be where I would start - and if there isn't any filtering at the intake you can put some mesh in place to trap the dust before it comes in to the laptop. Then you can blow off the dust on the outside facing part of the mesh. For my desksides I do that once a month, or so.

I believe he's at the point where it has become necessary to blow out the cooling ducts.
@Blackhawk - did you try the spiral notebook idea? Any thin, stainless steel wire works well (I suggested the spiral notebook wire because that's what I used).

If you have a pair of sidecutters, and if you have an old spiral notebook that you don't care about - you can cut and straighten a nice length of that wire as long as you need. It's super stiff stuff and it's thin enough to fit.

I have covered every square inch of this laptop (I should mention that I have a G55vw and not a G750), and the best idea I have come up with so far is that the "intake" is the keyboard and the area around the memory slots. I have been unable to locate any airflow diagrams, but as soon as I get it figured out for certain, I'll put up some diagrams (if anyone can shed some light immediately, that'd be marvelous).
