Tablet

MacBook (display)
- Power off the computer and unplug the power module.
- Dampen the provided cleaning cloth with plain water and swipe the display.
- Do not spray liquids onto the display.
On MacBook bottom (13 inch, end of 2009, mid 2010) there is soft nons lipping material. Use 3M grey microfiber cloth or soft, colorfast lint-free cloth to clean out the bottom.
Laptops (cooling)
- A common cause for overheating in laptops is accumulation of dust inside the computer. Dust can block air passages resulting in the fan running on high speed all the time.
- Air passages can be cleared using a compressed air can. Compressed air must be blown in all air passages to make air flow and to keep dust settling on components.
