CHAPTER 7: Maintaining Your Notebook If you spill liquid on the keyboard, turn off your notebook and turn the notebook upside down. Let the liquid drain, then let the keyboard dry before trying to use it again. If the keyboard does not work after it dries, you may need to replace it. A replacement keyboard may not be covered by your warranty. Cleaning the notebook screen Caution A notebook LCD screen is made of specially coated glass and can be scratched or damaged by abrasive or ammonia-based glass cleaners. Use a soft cloth and water to clean the LCD screen. Squirt a little water on the cloth (never directly on the screen), and wipe the screen with the cloth. Cleaning CDs or DVDs Wipe from the center to the edge, not around in a circle, using a product made especially for the purpose. System recovery options Most notebook problems can be solved by following the information in "Troubleshooting" on page 81 or at www.gateway.com. Problem-solving may also involve re-installing some or all of the notebook's software (also called recovering or restoring your system). Gateway provides everything you need to recover your system under most conditions. • To recover specific files and software, see "Recovering specific files and software" on page 69. • To completely restore your system: 68
