Liquid spilled in the keyboard
• If you spilled liquid in the keyboard, turn off your
computer and unplug the keyboard. Clean the keyboard
and turn it upside down to drain it. Let the keyboard dry
before using it again. If the keyboard does not work after
it dries, you may need to replace it.

The Media Center video display looks bad on your TV
Many factors, such as the display type, quality of the video
source, type of connection used, quality of video cables, display
device screen resolution, size of TV, age of the TV, or the type
of TV (interlaced or progressive scan), can affect the video
quality significantly:
• Display type—The Media Center is best viewed on
computer displays. Other types of display devices,
including retail TVs, may provide lower quality video. If
you did not order a display device when you purchased
your computer, a progressive scan display device with a
VGA input is the best choice.
• Quality of video source—The quality of the video
signal coming into the computer has an affect on the
video quality. The video displayed from Media Center is
only as good as the source video signal. Cable, digital
cable, and satellite usually provide better quality than an
antenna.
