86 Cleaning Your System

Cleaning the keyboard

You should clean the keyboard occasionally to free it of dust and lint particles

trapped under the keys. The easiest way to do this is to blow trapped dirt from

under the keys using an aerosol can of air with a narrow, straw-like extension.

If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off the computer, then disconnect

the keyboard. Turn the keyboard upside down to let the liquid drain. Let the

keyboard dry for a few days before trying to use it again. If the keyboard does

not work after it is dry, you may need a new one.

Cleaning the monitor screen

Use a soft cloth and window cleaner to clean the monitor screen. Squirt a

little cleaner on the cloth (never directly on the screen), then wipe the screen

with the cloth.

Cleaning the computer and monitor

cases

Always turn off the computer and other peripherals before cleaning any

components.

Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean the computer case, monitor case,

keyboard, speakers, and other parts of your system. Avoid abrasive or solvent

cleaners because they can damage the finish on your components.

Your computer is cooled by air drawn in through the vents on the chassis

and blown out through the power supply exhaust fan. Keep vents on the front

and back of the chassis free of dust. With the computer turned off and

unplugged, brush the dust away from the vents with a slightly damp cloth.

Be careful not to drip any water into the vents. Do not attempt to clean dust

from the inside the computer.

Caution When you clean the system, turn off the computer, monitor,

and peripherals, then unplug the power cords and modem

cord (if installed). Be careful not to drip liquid into the

computer, monitor, and peripherals when cleaning the

system.
