IBM G40 Series manual Cleaning your computer

Caring for your ThinkPad computer

vTurn off your computer if you are replacing the hard disk drive.

vIf you exchange drives in your computer, reinstall the plastic bezel faces (if supplied).

vStore your external hard disk, diskette, CD, DVD, and CD-RW/DVD drives in the appropriate containers or packaging when they are not being used.

Cleaning your computer

Occasionally clean your computer as follows:

vUse a soft cloth moistened with nonalkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the computer.

vAvoid spraying cleaner directly on the display or the keyboard.

vGently wipe the display with a soft, dry cloth. If you see a scratchlike mark on your display, it might be a stain transferred from the keyboard or the TrackPoint pointer when the cover was pressed from the outside. Wipe or dust the stain gently with a soft, dry cloth. If the stain remains, moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water that does not contain impurities, wring out as much of the water as you can, and then wipe the display again. Be sure to dry the display before closing it.
