CHAPTER 1: Maintaining Your Computer

80

Cleaning the exterior

•

Always turn off your computer and other peripheral 
devices before cleaning any components.

•

Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean your computer and 
other parts of your system. Do not use household 
abrasive or solvent cleaners because they can damage 
the finish on components.

•

Your computer is cooled by air circulated through the 
vents on the case, so keep the vents free of dust. With 
your computer turned off and unplugged, brush the 
dust away from the vents with a damp cloth. Be careful 
not to drip any water into the vents.

Cleaning the keyboard

You should occasionally clean the keyboard to remove dust 
and lint trapped under the keys.

To clean the keyboard:

 

1

Use an aerosol can of air with a narrow, straw-like 
extension to remove dust and lint trapped under the 
keys.

2

If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off your 
computer and turn the keyboard upside down. Let the 
liquid drain, then let the keyboard dry before trying to 
use it again. If the keyboard does not work after it dries, 
you may need to replace it.

When you shut down your computer, the power turns off, but some 

electrical current still flows through it. To avoid possible injury from electrical 
shock, unplug the power cord, modem cable, and network cable from the wall 
outlets.
