Coolness Bears Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 I think this thread should go in here. I apologise for the poor title, Oh great my n from my clean went in front of my It's could someone change that please? :p So My laptop is in need of a clean! and I was wandering what the best way to go about it. I mean an actual clean not like clearing my harddrives or whatever... *clearly has no idea about computers* The screen of my laptop is dirty and I was wandering whether you could just clean it with water or you need some special liquid? would spraying it damage the screen? and how about getting the bits and dust from underneath thekeys? I was wandering if anyone has any advice as to how to get that out and whether any special tools are needed! Something got lodged underneath my left laptop mouse button ages ago and hasn't worked since! >___<
Strider Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 The screen of my laptop is dirty and I was wandering whether you could just clean it with water or you need some special liquid? would spraying it damage the screen? You could buy those special cloths from PC world or some computer shop, although a damp cloth is what i use.
S.C.G Posted August 14, 2008 Posted August 14, 2008 http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/5817736/Emtec-EKNLINRECH-100-Moist-Cleaning-Cloths/Product.html those should do it. failing that, any antistatic dry cloth, if it's dust but yeah those moist ones on Play if it's dirt etc.
Shorty Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 When you do the screen just make sure it's 100% cotton. You could use an old shirt or something. I've read on the net that 50% distilled water and 50% alcohol makes a good cleaning solution (for grubbier screens you can do more alcohol) and you're supposed to spray it onto the cotton cloth (but how many people really have pure alcohol laying around?) Don't use any tap water because it makes mineral spots.
Raining_again Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 I use antibacterial wipes and kitchen roll to wipe off the excess.
Coolness Bears Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 Thanks for the advice everyone. : peace: My Dad cleaned it for me yesterday. To get the dust off he used a antistatic dry cloth (S.C.G) and then to clean the screen he used a 100% Cotton just like Shorty suggested. Unfortunately we didn't have any pure alcohol lying around! but we used a damp cloth. (Strider) and Kitchen towel to finish off. (raining_again) Also once before I accidently sprayed my laptopscreen with window cleaner. That one doesn't help. :p
MoogleViper Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 I use antibacterial wipes and kitchen roll to wipe off the excess. You have the same problems after watching porn as well?
Raining_again Posted August 21, 2008 Posted August 21, 2008 You have the same problems after watching porn as well? Ew you sicko That would be some feat. LOL
MoogleViper Posted August 22, 2008 Posted August 22, 2008 That would be some feat. LOL Nah not really. It flies about 4 feet. Plenty far enough to reach the screen.
Kirkatronics Posted August 24, 2008 Posted August 24, 2008 Nah not really. It flies about 4 feet. Plenty far enough to reach the screen. You gotta have something to block it. Otherwise its just an un needed mess
