intermittent problems and what you did to resolve them, and other issues you might have experienced.

Maintenance tips about moving the computer
Before moving the computer, take the following precautions:
1. Back up your data on the storage drive.
2. Remove any media from the drives and turn off all connected devices and the computer. Then,
disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the
computer.
3. If you saved the original shipping cartons and packing materials, use them to pack the units. If you are
using different cartons, cushion the units to avoid damage.
When you move the computer to another country or region, you must take local electrical standards into
consideration. If the local electrical outlet style is different from the type you are currently using, contact the
Lenovo Customer Support Center to purchase either an electrical plug adapter or a new power cord.
Clean your computer
CAUTION:
Remove any media from the drives and turn off all connected devices and the computer. Then,
disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets and disconnect all cables that are connected to the
computer.
It is a good practice to clean your computer periodically to protect the surfaces and ensure trouble-free
operation.
Clean the computer surface : Wipe it with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. Avoid applying
liquids directly to the surface.
Clean the keyboard : Wipe the keys one by one with a lint-free cloth dampened in mild soap and water. If
you wipe several keys at a time, the cloth might hook onto an adjacent key and possibly damage it. Avoid
spraying cleaner directly onto the keyboard. To remove any crumbs or dust from beneath the keys, you can
use a camera blower with a brush or use cool air from a hair dryer.
Clean the computer screen : Scratches, oil, dust, chemicals, and ultraviolet light can affect the performance
of your computer screen. Use a dry, soft lint-free cloth to wipe the screen gently. If you see a scratchlike
mark on your screen, it might be a stain. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the stain
remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water or eyeglass cleaner, but do not apply liquids directly to your
computer screen. Ensure that the computer screen is dry before closing it.
