5 Simple Steps to Safely Clean Your Laptop Screen


Cleaning a laptop and LCD monitor screen is different from cleaning a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) monitor screen. A large part of this is because the traditional CRT screen is made up of glass, which is less prone to scratches from dust particles than the laptop screen.
Laptop screen is an LCD screen which is easily scratched and damaged and therefore requires special attention when cleaning. For this, you can follow these simple steps and guidelines while cleaning your laptop or LCD monitor screen to keep out of harm’s way and have a sparkling clean screen.
  1. Turn off the screen. This will allow you to see the areas that are dirty or oily easier.
  2. Wipe the LCD screen softly with the dry cloth to remove any dust. A great choice would be the microfiber type of cloth used to clean eyeglass lenses.
  3. Take the clean side of the cloth and dampen it with the distilled water.
  4. Gently wipe the surface of your laptop screen using a top to bottom motion. You can start at the upper left hand portion of the screen, wiping down towards the bottom and continuing along until the top right corner to the bottom right hand portion of the screen.
  5. Clean the edges of your laptop screen with any multipurpose cleaner but take care to avoid contact with the screen itself.

Tips & Warning

  • Avoid using paper towels, toilet paper, tissue paper, or something like your shirt to wipe the screen. These non-ultrasoft materials can scratch the display.
  • Avoid cleaning products that contain ammonia (like Windex®), ethyl alcohol (Everclear®) or other strong drinking alcohol. These chemicals could permanently discolor the screen or cause other kinds of damage.
  • Never spray liquid directly on to any screen. It could run inside the device and cause damage.

Why I Wake Up Early (And 9 Reasons You Should Do So Too)

Here are 9 reasons why I say this: 1. Get a head start When you wake up at 5am, you start your day earlier than 99.9% of the world — hence giving you a head start in your day. This creates a feel-good factor, which, while psychological, creates a host of positive effects (especially for reasons #2 and #3 in the list). After all, a good start is half the battle won. It will motivate you to stay ahead so you can maintain or even widen the lead. For example, my modus operandi when I wake up early is to work on the high-impact tasks right away, as opposed to the small, easy but unimportant tasks. I will also think and work effectively, and strive to end my day earlier so that I can have an early sleep, wake up early the next day, and continue my “head start.” On the whole, I’d say that I’m more forward thinking and proactive in managing my tasks — since I have a head start in my day, I naturally think about how I can be ahead in my work too. On the other hand, when I wake up ...

Google launches OnHub, a simple, expensive Wi-Fi router

Image
Hate your finicky Wi-Fi router? Google does too, apparently. Google announced Tuesday that it's making a Wi-Fi router called OnHub, which is designed to alleviate the typical frustrations of buggy routers. It is partnering with TP-Link for the $199 router, available for immediate preorder. Google's preorder page already lists it as out of stock. In terms of design, the OnHub doesn't really look like any router before it. It eschews the usual antennas, wires and blinking lights for a large cylindrical shape with just one large light at the top. Google's cylindrical OnHub router. IMAGE: GOOGLE Google thinks there are benefits to this design: In its announcement post, it explains many people keep unsightly routers hidden away under desks and behind TVs where they don't work as well.  If the router is more pleasing to the eye, Google says, people will be more likely to keep it out in the open. A win-win. Within the cy...
