The TFT or LCD screen is one of the most expensive component of your notebook or desktop computer and they're very sensitive to dust, fingerprints or even when you cough or sneeze without covering the mouth and nose. Unlike the standard CRT monitors with Glass screens, you are not advised to clean an LCD Monitor by wiping it with a piece of dry lint-free cloth since the sensitive display is likely to get scratches from dust particles. So how do you clean an LCD monitor screen without buying any of those expensive LCD Monitor Cleaner solutions or Monitor Wipes available in the market ?

We look at some proper methods and precautions before you clean the monitor [should apply to HDTVs, projection TVs and Plasma TVs as well] Think of LCD Displays just like the soft and delicate skin of your newborn baby - Be very gentle and never put even the slightest pressure on the computer screen with your hand. Dilute the vinegar or IPA with distilled water [1:1] and spray this liquid on the cloth. Use a Bluetooth Headset With Your Computer. Can i use my Bluetooth headset on my laptop - CNET Peripherals Forums. I too have been struggling in the dark with Bluetooth. The general idea about Bluetooth is that it is just a wireless wire, a connection just like a simple cable. If two devices have bluetooth ''plugs'' then the magic bluetooth cable will connect them. Not so it seems. I have a Plantronics M3000 bluetooth handsfree which I bought for use with my mobile. It works fine with the phone.

Like others I got a bluetooth USB adapter (A-link) for the laptop and it didn't work with the handsfree. After digging it appears that there are two protocols for these things: one is called Handsfree Protocol (HFP)the other Headset Protocol (HSP). The Belkin F8T012/013 USB adapter ''should work with all headsets which support either or both the HSP (Headset) or HFP (Handsfree) bluetooth services'' according to their technical support staff.

Having said that, I have yet to get hold of the Belkin adapter. Does anyone else know anything about this? Was this reply helpful? Staff pick Discussion locked.
