Product Information and Troubleshooting  
Traveling with the computer  
For best results, follow these traveling and shipping tips:  
Prepare the computer for traveling or shipping:  
1. Back up your information.  
2. Remove all discs and all external media cards, such as digital cards and  
ExpressCards.  
To reduce the risk of damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of  
information, remove the media from a drive before removing the drive from a drive  
Ä
bay, and before shipping, storing, or traveling with a drive.  
3. Turn off and then disconnect all external devices.  
4. Shut down the computer.  
Take along a backup of your information. Keep the backup separate from the computer.  
When traveling by air, carry the computer as hand luggage, and do not check it in with  
the rest of your bags.  
Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields  
include airport walk-through devices and security wands. The airport security  
Ä
devices that check carry-on luggage, such as conveyor belts, use X-rays instead of  
magnetism and will not damage a drive.  
In-flight computer use is at the discretion of the airline. If you plan to use the computer  
during a flight, check with the airline in advance.  
If the computer will be unused and disconnected from external power for more than  
2 weeks, remove the battery and store it separately.  
If you are shipping the computer or a drive, use suitable protective packaging and label  
the package “FRAGILE.”  
If the computer has a wireless device or a cell phone device installed, such as an  
802.11b/g device, a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) device, or a  
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) device, the use of these devices may be restricted  
in some environments. Such restrictions may apply onboard aircraft, in hospitals, near  
explosives, and in hazardous locations. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to  
the use of a particular device, ask for authorization to use it before you turn it on.  
If you are traveling internationally, follow these suggestions:  
Check the computer-related customs regulations for each country on your itinerary.  
Check the power cord and adapter requirements for each location in which you plan  
to use the computer. Voltage, frequency, and plug configurations vary.  
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to the equipment, do not attempt  
to power the computer with a voltage converter kit sold for appliances.

Product Information and Troubleshooting  
Routine care  
Cleaning the display  
CAUTION: To prevent permanent damage to the computer, never spray water, cleaning  
Ä
fluids, or chemicals on the display.  
To remove smudges and lint, frequently clean the display with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth.  
If the screen requires additional cleaning, use premoistened antistatic wipes or an antistatic  
screen cleaner.  
Cleaning the TouchPad and keyboard  
Dirt and grease on the TouchPad can cause the pointer to jump around on the screen. To  
avoid this, clean the TouchPad with a damp cloth, and wash your hands frequently when  
using the computer.  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to internal components, do  
Å
not use a vacuum cleaner attachment to clean the keyboard. A vacuum cleaner can  
deposit household debris on the keyboard surface.  
Clean the keyboard regularly to prevent keys from sticking and to remove dust, lint, and  
particles that can become trapped beneath the keys. A can of compressed air with a straw  
extension can be used to blow air around and under the keys to loosen and remove debris.  
Troubleshooting resources  
If you experience computer problems, perform these troubleshooting steps in the sequence  
provided until the problem is resolved:  
1. Refer to “Quick troubleshooting,” the next section in this chapter.  
2. Access Web site links and additional information about the computer through Help and  
Support. Click Start, and then click Help and Support.

Product Information and Troubleshooting  
The computer is unusually warm  
It is normal for the computer to feel warm to the touch while it is in use. But if the computer  
feels unusually warm, it may be overheating because a vent is blocked.  
If you suspect that the computer is overheating, turn off the computer to allow the computer  
to cool to room temperature. Then be sure to keep all vents free from obstructions while you
