Laptop Question?

is it to clean off dirt?

try using a microfibre cloth, they're quite good.

yes, to clean off dirt.

ok thanks. I would prefer to put something damp on the cloth to make the cleaning more thorough but given how it often makes laptops malfunction it's just not worth the risk imo.

yeah that's why I said microfibre cloth, it's like a damp cloth but dry, it's quite good at getting off dirt compared to normal cloths.

weird that your laptop can't handle a damp cloth, how wet are you making the cloth exactly?

Not dripping wet, but I made a piece of kitchen paper damp enough that you could use it to wipe a worktop

it completely stopped working after that. I definitely won't be doing that again...

If I wanna use a damp cloth, I just add a few drops to the cloth, is that what you do?

have you tried wet wipes? I wonder if those will work

but yeah, a microfibre cloth would be the best option in my opinion, just use it as it is, don't wet it or anything.

I use antibacterial wipes and haven't had a problem

I added a few sprays of dettox to the kitchen paper and then wiped

tbf though it was a crap laptop and developed a major fault just before the 6 month period [when you pick it up in a certain place the laptop would turn straight off[ and also the backlight of the screen started randomly turning off ...so perhaps it was the actual laptop that was at fault,

when i was cleaning it to send it back, it was then that the touchpad stopped working

I think they're a bit dryer dryer than the damp kitchen paper I used when it broke
