Many people use computer without
knowing how to maintain it that is why I wanted to share some tips on how to
maintain your computer. It’s not hard just follow the steps below.
Cleaning mouse:
·
STEP 1:
Disconnect the mouse cable from the back of the computer case.
·
STEP 2:
Lightly dampen a cleaning cloth with isopropyl alcohol and wipe down the
outside of the computer mouse and mouse pad. If you are concerned about
damaging the plastic, dilute the alcohol 50:50 with water or use mild detergent
solution instead.
·
STEP 3:
Remove the bottom cover of the mouse. To do this turn it over and note the
directional arrows the indicate the direction of rotation, or how to slide it
off. Press with your fingers in the directions in the arrows and turn the mouse
right side up, letting the cover and the mouse ball drop into your hand.
·
STEP 4:
Wipe the computer mouse ball a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol.
Put it aside

a swab with alcohol and clean between, around and top of the keys .Change swabs
as they become dirty. You may need several swabs.

the mouse cord. Lightly dampen a cleaning cloth with a mild soap solution and
gently pull the cord through the cloth. Too tight a grip may damage it. Dry the
cord with a dry cloth.

the power supply cord and cable from the
back of the monitor and allow it to cool for at least 20 minutes

the outside of the monitor, particularly the cooling grooves, holes or slot in
the top surface where heavy dust or other debris may have collected. If you
don’t have a vacuum, blow canned, or compressed air in short puffs at an angel
to the monitor surface. The goal is to remove dust and dirty without letting
anything fall into the ventilation holes.

Check the documentation or call the manufacturer to find out your monitor
screen has a anti-glare, or other delicate coatings. If so, ask the
manufacturer for cleaning instructions. If it does not have these special
coatings you may spray a Window cleaner unto a lint-free cloth and wipe it
clean. Do not spray directly onto
the screen. Chemical may drip inside the monitor and damage it.

to protect the monitor.
