Cleaning the computer components
Because many of the computer components consist of sophisticated integrated
circuit boards, it is very important to periodically clean around the computer
to prevent dust buildup. The cleaning supplies you need in order to clean the
components include: a vacuum cleaner, a soft cotton cloth, clear water (pure water
preferred) and cotton swabs.
Attention: Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer
from the electrical outlet. Clean your computer with a soft cloth
