◦
Wipe the screen with a soft, clean antistatic cloth. For more difficult cleaning situations, use a
50/50 mix of water and Isopropyl alcohol. Spray the cleaner onto a cloth and use the damp
cloth to gently wipe the screen surface. Never spray the cleaner directly on the screen
surface. It may run behind the bezel and damage the electronics.
◦
Occasionally clean the air vents on all vented sides of the computer. Lint, dust, and other
foreign matter can block the vents and limit the airflow.
Optical disc drive precautions
Be sure to observe the following guidelines while operating or cleaning the optical disc drive.
●
Do not move the drive during operation. This may cause it to malfunction during reading.
●
Avoid exposing the drive to sudden changes in temperature, as condensation may form inside the
unit. If the temperature suddenly changes while the drive is on, wait at least one hour before you
turn off the power. If you operate the unit immediately, it may malfunction while reading.
●
Avoid placing the drive in a location that is subject to high humidity, extreme temperatures,
mechanical vibration, or direct sunlight.
CAUTION: If any object or liquid falls into the drive, immediately unplug the computer and have it
checked by an authorized HP service provider.
