VAIO® Notebook Quick Start

Cleaning Your Notebook

Make sure to disconnect the AC adapter before cleaning the notebook.

Avoid rubbing the LCD screen as this can damage the screen. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the LCD screen.

Clean the notebook with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

Handling the LCD Screen

Do not leave the LCD facing the sun as it can damage the LCD. Be careful when using the notebook near a window.

Do not scratch the LCD or exert pressure on it. This could cause malfunction.

Using the notebook in low temperature conditions may produce a residual image on the screen. This is not a malfunction. When the notebook returns to normal temperature, the screen returns to normal.

A residual image may appear on the screen if the same image is displayed for a lengthy period of time. The residual image disappears in a while. You can use a screen saver to prevent residual images.

The screen becomes warm during operation. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

The LCD is manufactured using high-precision technology. You may, however, see tiny black points and/or bright points (red, blue, or green) that continuously appear on the LCD. This is a normal result of the manufacturing process and does not indicate a malfunction.

On Moisture Condensation

If the notebook is brought directly from a cold location to a warm one, moisture may condense inside your notebook. In this case, allow at least an hour before turning on your notebook. If any problems occur, unplug your notebook, and contact your Sony Service Center.
