8.2 Cleaning Your Computer
When it is necessary to clean the plastic case and keyboard, use a soft, lint-free
cloth, slightly dampened with a mild detergent solution or use the contents of
any commercially available computer cleaning kit.
Never use alcohol, petroleum-based solvents, or harsh detergents to clean the
notebook. Also never spray any liquids directly on the computer case,
keyboard, or screen. If the liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen has become
smeared or dusty, clean the screen by first applying a mild glass cleaner to a
soft, clean, lint-free cloth, and gently wipe the glass. Never apply liquids directly
on the screen surface. Moreover, do not use paper towels to clean the display
screen. Paper can scratch the display screen matte.
8.3 Maintaining the LCD Quality
When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a big part. After a good working
session, the typical routine is to shut the machine and close the cover. But the
display surface - no matter what type it is - and the components inside the
computer radiates heat; when you close the cover, you trap the heat against the
screen. Leave the computer's cover open for about ten minutes while the heat
disperses. Make this a habit.
You should also enable the power management of your computer to turn off
the LCD power and display when the system is in inactivity for some time.
Adding screen savers is also acceptable.
Follow the safety guidelines mentioned earlier and how to clean your computer.
