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 computer and turn the
keyboard 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 computer screen
If your computer screen is a flat panel display, 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.
- OR -
If your computer screen is not a flat panel display, use a soft cloth and glass
cleaner to clean the monitor screen. Squirt a little cleaner on the cloth (never
directly on the screen), and wipe the screen with the cloth.
Warning The computer screen is made of specially coated glass
and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or
ammonia-based glass cleaners.
