HP LAPTOPS: Care Keep Food and Drinks Away Cleaning your LCD Screen
Protect the LCD Monitor Cord Issues Accessories Hard Drive Tips Battery Tips Laptop Case It is important to take care of your laptop to keep it in good shape; prevention is always better than cure. These are a number of easy things that you can do to keep your laptop in great shape; following these easy steps will help to ensure that it lasts longer and will need less maintenance. As an added bonus, many of the steps will also maintain your laptop’s speed. Use an old tooth brush to clean the area around the exhaust fan screen. If that gets plugged up, air flow is diminished and overheating can most certainly occur. Heat is not your laptop’s friend. BASICS

CARE: Keep Away Food & Drinks
Accidents Happen Keyboards and Crumbs Bugs Circuitry Clean Hands Wear and tear Warranty Keep liquids away from your laptop. As tempting as it might be to drink coffee, soda, water or any other liquid near your laptop, accidents can happen all too easily. Spilled liquids may damage the internal components or cause electrical injury to the laptop. Short circuits can corrupt data or even permanently destroy parts. The solution is very simple: Keep your drinks away from your computer. Even if you're careful, someone else might bump into your desk or you. Keep food away from your laptop. Don't eat over your laptop. The crumbs can go down between the keys in the keyboard and provide an invitation to small bugs. The crumbs can also irritate the circuitry. Always have clean hands when using your laptop. Clean hands make it easier to use your laptop touchpad and there will be less risk of leaving dirt and other stains on the computer. In addition, if you clean your hands before use, you will help reduce wear and tear on the coating of the laptop caused by contact with sweat and small particles that can act upon the laptop’s exterior underneath your wrists and fingers. Food and drinks pose great risk to your laptop. Unfortunately, hardware damage caused by food or drink spillage are not usually covered under warranty. BASICS
