Turning off Your Computer
If you are not going to use the computer for a while, it is best to turn off the
power of the computer for longer use. Before turning off the power, you need
to close first all application programs and shutdown the operating system.
After turning off the computer, make it a habit to leave the LVDS panel open
for a while whenever used for an extended period of time. This allows the
inside parts of the computer to cool off. Closing the panel will force the heat
up against the LCD screen, which may degrade the LCD when done regularly.
More importantly, never close the LVDS panel for a long period of time when
computer is on and power saving features are disabled.

Starting Your Operating System
The operating system is a must ingredient in using your computer. Without an
operating system, it is like playing chess without the chessboard. It is the
platform for all your software application programs to run on. The most
popular operating system today is Microsoft Windows. You should have
installed one operating system by your dealer unless you are an expert
computer user and would need a more powerful operating system. If you have
an operating system already installed in your computer, then you would be up
and running after you power on your computer and boot up the system. Check
your operating system manual on how to run it.
