Never use alcohol, petroleum-based solvents, or harsh detergents to clean the
notebook. Also, do not spray any liquids directly on the computer case,
keyboard, or screen. If the liquid-crystal display (LCD) screen has become
smeared or dusty, clean the screen by first applying a mild glass cleaner to a
soft, clean, lint-free cloth, and gently wipe the glass. Never apply liquids directly
on the screen surface. Moreover, do not use paper towels to clean the display

5.2.2 Protecting the Disk Drives

5.2.3 Maintaining the LCD Quality
When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a big part. After a good working session, the
typical routine is to shut the machine and close the cover. But the display surface - no matter
what type it is - and the components inside the computer radiates heat; when you close the
cover, you trap the heat against the screen. Leave the computer's cover open for about ten
minutes while the heat disperses. Make this a habit.
