computer if any of the following conditions exists:

Your computer has been dropped or the case has been otherwise

Protecting Your Optical Drive
To keep your optical drive working properly:
Position your computer so that the drive tray doesn't bump into anything
when it opens.
Close the drive when you're not using it.
Do not put anything on the drive tray when it is open.
Do not touch the optical drive lens with your fingers. Do not wipe the
lens with a paper towel or other abrasive surface.

Thermal
The vent hole of the PDC-W240 rear cover functions as a cooling air flow
inlet and outlet. These air inlets and outlets transfer heat from inside the
computer to the cooler air outside. Do not block these holes/vents with any
soft material.
When using your PDC-W240 system, it is normal for the rear metal heatsink
to get warm. The rear metal heatsink of the PDC-W240 functions as a cooling
surface that transfers heat from inside the computer to the cooler air outside.
Do not block this heatsink with any soft material.
Warning! Do not place your PDC-W240 system on a pillow or other soft
material when it is on, as the material may block the airflow and
cause the com-puter to overheat.
3.4
Disconnect the Power
The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the adapter power
cord. Make sure at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so
that you can unplug the computer when you need to.

(a plug that has a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only a
grounded AC out-let. If you are unable to insert the plug into
an outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a
