Cleaning tips

Use a soft cloth: - To clean a laptop screen, use a soft, dry cloth such as microfiber or flannel. Ensure that this cloth is exclusively used for cleaning the laptop's frame and screen to avoid introducing any foreign substances or dust.

 

1.     Wipe the screen gently. An LCD screen is thin and flexible, so do not apply much pressure.

2.     If necessary, wet the cloth with distilled water, squeeze it, use it to wipe the screen off. Immediately after wiping the screen, remove moisture from the surface with a dry cloth.

  • Do not directly apply liquid cleaners to the Galaxy Book and do not use household cleaners.
