LCD screenLCD screens are delicate – they don‟t like being poked, prodded, pushed or
slammed. Never pick up your notebook by its screen. Don‟t slam the screen closed and
always be gentle when putting your notebook down.
To clean your LCD screen:

Switch off your notebook.

Lightly dampen a non-abrasive cloth with water and gently wipe screen in a circular
motion.

Do not directly apply water or cleaner to the screen.

Avoid applying pressure to the screen.
AC adapter

Connect your adapter only to your notebook.

Find a safe location at home to recharge your notebook. Disconnect the power supply
from the wall when not charging your notebook – this will prolong the life of the unit.

Do not step on your power cord or place heavy objects on top of it. Keep your cord
away from heavy traffic areas.

When unplugging the power cord, pull on the plug itself, rather than the cord.

Do not wrap your cord tightly around the adapter box.
Keyboard

Gently brush your keyboard with a clean soft bristled paint brush or similar to remove
dirt.

If any key tops are missing or keys are in a damaged state, take your notebook to the
college‟s helpdesk technician to be repaired immediately. A single key top can easily
be replaced but continuing to use the keyboard with a missing key top can result in
having to replace the entire keyboard.
Casing cleaning

Take a non-abrasive cloth.

Spray "Windex" or similar cleaner on to cloth to moisten – do not spray the notebook
directly.

Gently rub your notebook casing with the moistened cloth to remove any dirty marks.
