reduces any static electricity from your body. The static electricity could damage the device.

sleep or hibernation mode before the data transfer is complete. To do so might cause damage to your
data.
Taking care when setting passwords

and you might have to replace your system board or storage drive.

Cleaning the cover of your computer

Occasionally clean your computer by doing the following:
1. Prepare a mixture of a gentle kitchen-use detergent. The detergent must not contain abrasive powder or
strong chemicals such as acid or alkaline. Use five parts water to one part detergent.
2. Absorb the diluted detergent into a sponge.
3. Squeeze excess liquid from the sponge.
4. Wipe the cover with the sponge, using a circular motion and taking care not to let any excess liquid drip.
5. Wipe the surface to remove the detergent.
6. Rinse the sponge with clean running water.
7. Wipe the cover with the clean sponge.
8. Wipe the surface again with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.
9. Wait for the surface to dry completely and remove any fibers from the cloth.
Cleaning your computer keyboard
To clean the computer keyboard, do the following:
1. Apply some isopropyl rubbing alcohol to a soft, dust-free cloth.
Note: Avoid spraying cleaner directly onto the keyboard.
2. Wipe each keytop surface with the cloth. Wipe the keys one by one; if you wipe several keys at a time,
the cloth might hook onto an adjacent key and possibly damage it. Make sure that no liquid drips onto
or between the keys.
3. Allow to dry.
4. To remove any crumbs or dust from beneath the keys, you can use a camera blower with a brush
or cool air from a hair dryer.
