7.2 Cleaning and Serving
When cleaning your notebook, follow these steps:
1. Power off your notebook and remove the battery pack.
2. Disconnect the AC adapter.
3. Use a soft cloth moistened with water. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
7.3 Maintaining the LCD Quality
When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a big part. After a
good working session, the typical routine is to shut the machine
and close the cover. But the display surface - no matter what
type it is - and the components inside the computer radiates
heat; when you close the cover, you trap the heat against the
screen. Leave your notebook computer's cover open for about
ten minutes while the heat disperses. Make this a habit.
You should also enable the power management of your notebook
to turn off the LCD power and display when the system is in
inactivity for some time. Adding screen savers is also
acceptable.
Follow the safety guidelines mentioned earlier and how to clean
your notebook computer.
7.4 Maintaining Your Hard Disk
Losing your data has the same consequences as a system break
down. Users must make it a habit of doing hard disk
maintenance every week or so. Here is some maintenance you
could do:
• Always backup your data files from your hard disk.
• Install the virus detecting program to monitor virus that
could tamper your files.
• Use SCANDISK once in a while to correct any errors found in
the directory and File Allocation Table. This will also free up
space from any unused sectors.
