Cleaning the computer
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust
and dirt, and use care with all liquids around it.
■
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does get
wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry completely
- in these circumstance you should get the computer inspected by an
authorized service provider in order to assess the scope of any
damage.
■
Clean the plastics of the computer using a slightly water dampened
cloth.
■
You can clean the display screen by spraying a small amount of glass
cleaner onto a soft, clean cloth and then wiping the screen gently with
the cloth.
Moving the computer
While the computer is designed for flexible day-to-day usage you should
exercise a few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensure
trouble-free operation.
■
Before moving the computer, it is recommended that you change the
setting associated with the Hard Disk Drive Protection feature. Please
refer to the section,
, in this chapter for further
information.
■
Make sure all disk/disc activity has ended before moving the computer -
check that the HDD and other indicators on the front of the computer
are off.
■
Turn off (shut down) the computer.
If you are running some applications (for example a 3D application or video
playback and so on), you may see some disturbance, flickering or frame
dropping on your screen.
If that occurs, adjust the resolution of display, lowering it until the screen is
displayed properly.
Disabling Windows Aero™ may also help correct this issue.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any part
of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.
