Handling Spills
Sweet liquids leave a sticky residue that may jam the keyboard despite your efforts to dry it.
Some liquids damage the polarized LCD screen. If your screen is damaged, contact your authorized manufacturer’s service center for a replacement.
Do not spill anything on your computer. The best way to avoid spills is to not eat or drink around your computer. If you do spill something on your computer, turn it off and unplug it immediately, then do the following:
•If you spill liquid on the keyboard, drain as much of the liquid from the keyboard as possible. Be careful not to let the liquid drip onto the LCD panel. Allow the system to dry for several days before trying to use it.
•If you spill liquid on an external keyboard or keypad, unplug it and drain as much of the liquid as possible. Allow the keyboard to sit at room temperature for a full day before trying to use it.
•If you spill liquid on the LCD panel, clean it immediately with a soft cloth and denatured alcohol. Do not use water, window cleaner, acetone, aromatic solvent, or dry, rough towels to clean it.
