Overheating

Air vents on the back of the laptop help air travel in and out the compartment.

If the vents become clogged, air flow is diminished and overheating will most certainly occur. Have the unit cleaned by a by a computer professional at least once a year to prevent overheating. An inefficient cooling system will eventually cause premature component/motherboardrd failure.   

Since heat can destroy the motherboard, keep the laptop on a solid-flat surface. Avoid putting your laptop on carpet or a bed when turned on, which can restrict air flow.

Proper Handling

Never lift your laptop by the LCD display screen. Always hold and lift the laptop computer by its base. Lifting it by the screen portion alone may damage the LCD display or hinges that attach it to the base. Avoid placing direct pressure on the LCD screen. 

 Always look at the symbols on the laptop carefully before inserting devices. Insert connectors into their slots carefully and at the correct angle. Place your hand directly on the AC plug when unplugging the power cord from a wall outlet. Care should also be taken when inserting and removing the AC adapter from your laptop DC power jack. 

It's always a good idea to put a label with your name, e-mail, cell phone number or other contact details on your laptop, the power cord and any other removable parts.
