Handling the ThinkPad computer
By using common sense and by following these handling tips, you
will get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer for a
long time to come.
This section provides tips for handling notebook computers in
general. Some descriptions might not suit your situation. Check
your shipping checklist to confirm the items you get with your
computer.
Notebook computers are precision machines that require careful
handling. Though your computer is designed and tested to be a
durable notebook computer that functions reliably in normal work
environments, you need to use some common sense in handling it.
ThinkPad don'ts
Do not subject your computer to physical punishment, such as
dropping or bumping.
Do not place heavy objects on your computer.
Do not spill or allow liquids into your computer.
Do not use your computer in or near water (to avoid the danger
of electrical shock).
Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.
Your LCD might be damaged.
Do not disassemble your computer. Only an authorized IBM
ThinkPad repair technician should disassemble and repair your
computer.
Do not scratch, twist, hit, or push the surface of your computer
display.
Do not place any objects between the display and the keyboard
or under the keyboard.
A scratchlike marking on your LCD might be a stain transferred
from the keyboard (including from the TrackPoint stick) when
the cover was pressed from the outside. Wipe such a stain
gently with a dry soft cloth. If the stain remains, moisten the
cloth with LCD cleaner and wipe the stain again. Be sure to
dry the LCD before closing it.
