Gateway dx4300 User Guide

The mouse works erratically

•

Clean the mouse by wiping the bottom with a

clean, damp cloth. Make sure that the optical

sensor is clean and free of debris.

•

You may be using the mouse on a transparent,

reflective, metallic, or glossy surface. Your mouse

uses optical sensors that do not work correctly on

these surfaces. Use a mouse pad or a surface with

a non-glossy texture, such as fabric.

•

The mouse pad may have a printed or fabric

pattern on it that interferes with your mouse.

Use a different mouse pad.

Keyboard

The keyboard does not work

•

Make sure that the keyboard cable is plugged in

correctly.

•

Clean the keyboard by using an aerosol can of air

with a narrow, straw-like extension to remove

dust and lint trapped under the keys.

•

Try a keyboard that you know works to make

sure that the keyboard port works.

Liquid spilled in the keyboard

•

Turn off your computer and unplug the

keyboard. Wipe off the keyboard, turn the

keyboard upside down to drain any remaining

liquid, then blow the inside dry with a can of

compressed air. Let the keyboard dry for several

hours before using it again. If the keyboard does

not work after it dries, you may need to

replace it.
