问题                            Your Laptop Care Guide
    Your laptop (笔记本电脑) is not just an expensive toy—it’s one of your most important assets while at work and play. It’s extremely important that you take good care of it. You should know about each piece of the hardware, and follow these simple guidelines.
    Don’t Eat or Drink near Your Laptop!
    Fluids are the number one enemy of electronic items. If you do spill something on or in your laptop, turn the computer off immediately and unplug it. If there is standing liquid, try to dry that liquid off. Leave the laptop off and sitting at least overnight to allow time for it to dry.
    Our INTREON Care Centre can repair light to medium damage, but you can be without your laptop for days if any of its major components has to be replaced. If something catastrophic (灾难性的) does occur, you may wish to request for a laptop from us or to do a trade-in for a newer model.
    Don’t Move Your Laptop While It Is On!
    This can severely damage your hard drive, and may cause you to lose files.
    In the case of hard disk damage, our specialized DATA RECOVERY laboratory will help you retrieve your priceless data using sophisticated recovery equipment.
    Don’t Leave It in Your Car, an Unlocked Locker, or a Classroom!
    Laptop thefts in Singapore are relatively rare, but not impossible, and it will cost you a minimum of a few thousands of dollars to get a new laptop, not to mention all the files you lost.
    Back Up Your Personal Files Regularly!
    Put your personal files on an external hard drive, which is automatically backed up daily, burn a CD or DVD, or you can choose to do a HARD-DISK CLONING before you clean up or reformat your system for better performance.
    Don’t Download Random Software off the Internet!
    Most of these "seemingly useful" softwares contain spy-ware, which will damage your Windows installation, waste resources, generate pop-up ads, and report your personal information back to the company that provided that software. A kitten that walks around your screen may be cute, but you won’t think it is when you need to bring your laptop to our INTREON Care Centre for repair!
    Don’t Dismantle Your Laptop or Attempt Repair!
    Laptop repair is a specialized skill and it is a dynamic problem solving process. If you are untrained, you will easily damage the delicate components of your laptop, lose your valuable data, or worse suffer from electrical shocks.
    Keep Your Laptop Within the Safe Temperature Range!
    Every laptop has a recommended safe range of operating temperature (usually about 10—35 degree Celsius). Prolonged exposure of a laptop to extreme cold or hot temperature can result in glitches (故障) and possible hardware damage. As such, we offer the following recommendations:
    Don’t leave your laptop sitting in the car for extended periods of time. This applies during both hot and cold weather.
    Don’t leave the laptop computer sitting exposed to direct sunlight or near any heat source for extended periods of time.
    Avoid Static Electricity (静电) and Magnetic Fields!
    Static is the enemy. It can ruin your system and your disks. Avoid magnetic fields. Be careful with the TVs, speakers and phones. Both can cause problems for laptop and diskettes.
    Consider Getting Your Laptop Insured!
    Is your laptop insured? Find out from your authorized agents: What’s covered? How much will you pay if something happens? A good insurance will come in handy especially when you are traveling overseas.
    Take Good Care of Your LCD.
    The screen on a laptop is an LCD (liquid crystal display) composed of individual transistors at every pixel (像素). The screens of the laptop have 1,470,000 pixels.
    Each pixel is a separate transistor/liquid crystal combination. If any one is damaged you will have a permanent black spot on your screen. To be sure, the loss of a single pixel will not make your screen unusable, but if you physically damage the screen you will probably lose more than a single pixel.
    The screen is the single most expensive part of your laptop. Most damage to it is non-repairable. Replacing it can cost between ＄600—＄1,000.
    Here are some tips for you to take good care of LCD.
    Keep your screen in good shape; stay away from it. That’s to say, do not poke it with your finger—or even worse—with a pen or pencil. If you want to show something on the screen to someone else, point "from a distance" or use your mouse and cursor (指针) to point to the item of interest (incidentally, you can make your cursor much larger and/or change its shape if you find it hard to see on the screen).
    If you do get fingerprints or dirt on your screen, you can clean it—with care and the proper cleaning solution. Remember, your laptop screen surface is thin, flexible plastic, not glass. DO NOT use glass cleaner. The ammonia (氨) that is a primary component of most glass cleaners will eventually yellow the screen and make it brittle. Your first attempt to clean a screen should be with a soft cloth (not paper towels) dampened with water. If a gentle wipe with this does not work, then use rubbing alcohol at 50% or less strength. You can buy commercial cleaning solutions and cleaning pads for computer screen, but make sure they specially say "for laptop or LCD screens". Never pour or spray it directly onto the screen where it may run off and damage electronic components. The same care tips hold true for any LCD screen that you may have—for a desktop computer or TV as well as for laptops.
    Other Considerations
    We would recommend getting some sort of padded carrying cases for your computer. Not only does it provide greater protection for your laptop in case of impact, but it also makes it easier to carry your laptop. Most major computer stores and department stores carry a wide variety of padded eases to suit your needs and tastes.
To better protect your laptop, you should not poke it with a ______.
