Frequently asked questions

What should I do if my computer stops responding? Press and hold the power button until the computer turns off. Then restart the computer.
What should I do if I spill liquid on the computer?
  1. Carefully unplug the ac power adapter and turn off the computer immediately. The more quickly you stop the current from passing through the computer the more likely you will reduce damage from short circuits.

    Attention: Although you might lose some data or work by turning off the computer immediately, leaving the computer on might make your computer unusable.

  2. Wait until you are certain that all the liquid is dry before turning on your computer.

    CAUTION: Do not try to drain out the liquid by turning over the computer. If your computer has keyboard drainage holes on the bottom, the liquid will be drained out through the holes.
