How to Restart the Computer

If the computer or an application locks up, or if the computer does not respond when you press the Power button, you may need to restart the computer.

The computer uses the configuration currently saved in flash memory during the boot process. Try these methods, in order, to restart the computer:

•Reboot: Restarts the computer and goes through the initialization process.

•Reset: Preserves configuration and network settings, but does not necessarily save cached disk data, which may result in data loss.

Reboot the Computer

You may need to restart the computer to correct conditions where an application stops responding to the system.

•Press the Power button and select Reboot from the menu.

Reset the Computer

If the computer completely stops responding, you may need to reset the computer. Because resetting may result in data loss, use this method only if all other recovery methods have failed.

•Press the Reset button on the top of the computer. When the reset is complete, the Home screen appears.

Clean the Computer

Clean the computer as often as needed. Use one of these recommended cleaning agents: Acetic acid (10% in water), Ethyl alcohol (10% in water), mild soap solutions, or 5% to no more than 10% bleach or sodium hypochlorite with water.

1Press the Power button to suspend the computer.

2Dip a clean cloth towel in the cleaning agent and wring out the excess.

3Wipe the touch screen. Do not allow any abrasive material to touch the surface.

4Wipe off the exterior of the computer.

5Wipe dry.
