Chapter 13: Maintaining Your Gateway M505
Cleaning the keyboard
You should clean the keyboard occasionally by using an aerosol can of air with
a narrow, straw-like extension to remove dust and lint trapped under the keys.
If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off your notebook and turn your
notebook upside down. Let the liquid drain, then let the keyboard dry before
trying to use it again. If the keyboard does not work after it dries, you may
need to replace it.
Cleaning the notebook screen
Use a soft cloth and water to clean the computer screen. Squirt a little water
on the cloth (never directly on the screen), and wipe the screen with the cloth.
Warning
Cleaning the mouse
If you have a mouse and the mouse pointer begins moving erratically across
the notebook screen or becomes difficult to control precisely, cleaning the
mouse will likely improve its accuracy.
Clean your optical mouse by wiping the bottom of the mouse with a damp
lint-free cloth.
216
The notebook screen is made of specially coated glass
and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or
ammonia-based glass cleaners.
