ventilation holes. Excessive heat will cause the monitor malfunction.

dissipation. Overheating will cause the system crash.
4. Place the computer on a stable surface.
. Keep the computer away from areas of extreme temperature. °C to 30°C is
the best surroundings temperature. Use an air conditioner or a electric fan to
gain a better heat dissipation.
6. Arrange the ribbon cables neatly to avoid insufficient airflow.
