Cleaning -

Laptop video display (either LCD or Plasma) surface is very soft, it will scratch very easily.

With that caution in mind you can clean your video display. A little knowledge and some caution will go a long way and your display will be easier to see.

Do:

Power the system off

Always use a soft cloth

Use glass cleaner

After cleaning wait ten minutes before powering up the system (the wait time will give any excess glass clean time to evaporate)

With the system powered off and cool, open the screen up, try to get it as horizontal as possible to keep any droplets of the glass cleaner from running down into the bezel, spray the glass cleaner on the cloth not the screen, wipe with gentle strokes.

Don't:

Use water (it will not remove grease build up)

Have the system powered up (you may get liquid inside the bezel, causing a short)

Use a paper towel (even a soft paper towel will scratch the screen)

Spray the cleaner on the screen (you may get liquid inside the bezel, causing a short)

Press on the screen with a lot of force (you may break the crystals inside the screen, this will create black streaks on the screen).

Remember glass cleaners have either Alcohol or Ammonia as the cleaning agent. Ammonia is corrosive and will damage copper or aluminum if not rinsed off.

I have been using glass cleaner on laptops since they first became available. I have read but have not tired 'baby wipes', because I do not know the composition of a baby wipe I would not recommend using them.
