Preventive Maintenance

Cleaning the Display Screen

The surface of your display screen may look fuzzy or smudged.
You can use a soft, damp, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen clean.

If the display screen requires any additional cleaning, use an
antistatic screen cleaner or pre-moistened antistatic wipes.

CAUTION: Never spray water or any other cleaning fluids or
chemicals directly on the screen. You may permanently damage
your Notebook.

Cleaning the TouchPad

Grease and dirt on the TouchPad
can cause your cursor to jump
around on the display screen.

To avoid this problem, periodically
clean the TouchPad with a damp
cloth. Remember, before using your
Notebook, always wash your hands
if they are dirty.
