No, and I don't suggest you do either.

| A few years ago, I tried using a vacuum cleaner to eradicate the dust from the carousel in a Sony 51 CD player...never worked since. |

Vacuum cleaners generate a lot of static electricity. Think of a slightly less exciting version of a Van de Graaf generator.
There is at least one cleaning system that uses suction to clean the CCD, but it's generated by a tube of compressed air and Bernoulli's principle, not a motorised system like a vacuum cleaner.

it's a wonder how you guys can change lens on your dSLR...
I'm extremely paranoid about dust that I have a hard time just changing filters on my camera! |
