Mouse (Non-Optical)

1 Turn the retainer ring on the underside of your mouse counterclockwise,

and then remove the ball.

2 Wipe the ball with a clean, lint-free cloth.
3 Blow carefully into the ball cage to dislodge dust and lint.
4 Clean the rollers inside the ball cage with a cotton swab moistened lightly

with isopropyl alcohol.

5 Recenter the rollers in their channels, as needed. Ensure that fluff from

the swab is not left on the rollers.

6 Replace the ball and retainer ring, and then turn the retainer ring clockwise

until it clicks into place.

Touch Pad

1 Shut down and turn off your computer.
2 Disconnect any attached devices from the computer and from their

electrical outlets.

3 Remove any installed batteries (see "Removing the Battery" on page 36).
4 Moisten a soft, lint-free cloth with water, and wipe it gently across the

surface of the touch pad. Do not allow water from the cloth to seep

between the touch pad and the surrounding palm rest.

CDs and DVDs

NOTICE:

Always use compressed air to clean the lens in the CD/DVD drive, and

follow the instructions that come with the compressed-air product. Never touch the

lens in the drive.

If you notice problems, such as skipping, with the playback quality of your

CDs or DVDs, try cleaning the discs.

1 Hold the disc by its outer edge. You can also touch the inside edge of the

center hole.

NOTICE:

To avoid damaging the surface, do not wipe in a circular motion around

the disc.
