Caring for your LCD display
The display on your notebook will maintain its original crisp and bright appearance if
cared for properly. Avoid touching the display with fingers or other objects that could-
scratch the screen. Use only a soft cloth and an approved cleaning solution to clean
the display—coarse cloth, strong cleansers or alcohol-based solvents will damage
the screen. When cleaning the display use very gentle pressure to avoid scratching
or other damage. Avoid exposing your notebook to extreme heat or cold. Protect the
outside of the notebook when carrying it to prevent impacts to the notebook casing
that could damage the display or other components.
Battery safety and maintenance
If your notebook will not operate on battery power, press the power indicator
button on the battery to see if the battery has enough charge remaining to power
the notebook. If it does, remove your battery and check and clean the metal
connections with a soft cloth to ensure they are able to conduct electricity.
Replace the battery and reconnect your AC adapter and ensure that the AC
adapter light is on and the charge indicator (located on the front edge of the
notebook) glows orange to indicate a charging battery. If after several hours of
charging the battery still fails to hold a charge, the battery may have exceeded its
useful life and a new battery may need to be purchased.
