Start with a clean laptop and a clean, flat working surface. To clean your laptop’s external surface, we recommend a damp lint-free cloth. Basically, you want to make sure your laptop is dry and free from any oil, dirt, or residue before beginning the skin installation.

1. Carefully remove the laptop skin from its backing, with each person holding 2 corners. Hold the skin taut (but don’t pull!) and line it up over the top of the laptop, aligning the corners.
2. Set the skin down gently and put light pressure in the centre of the skin to bond it to the surface.
3. Working from the centre, gently bond the skin across the laptop from the center to the outside edges, pressing out any bubbles.
4. If you need to trim the skin to fit, bond the skin well around all edges first, then use a sharp utility knife and gently run the blade down the edge that needs to be trimmed.

Getting the “AMD Data change…update new data to DMI” error? Try these fixes below.

1. Press F1, or F2 to enter BIOs
2. Due to the fact that all BIOs are different, look for ACPI options, usually in Power Management.
3. Enable ACPI
4. Make sure the Time/Date settings are correct, and if not correct them.
5. Set HDD from SATA to IDE, in the Controller settings.
6. Restart

If that didn’t work, you are looking at a BIOS/CMOs Upgrade/Flash. Look at the Motherboard’s manufacturers website for information on how to do this. Remember this is quite dangerous and if the wrong model or a power cut occurs during flashing, damage to the Motherboard may occur & make it worse.

The problem usually occurs when the Encoder strip a think plastic strip falls out of its guide inside the printer. Here is how to fix it:

1.  Lift scanner cover and remove the two plastic panels covering wires. Mark down position of cables then remove them, and remove the now-freed top scanner section entirely
2.  Remove screws from top plastic shell (There’s two in the back and four in the front, there’s also two plastic tabs in the front that must be bent aside before you can remove the top shell.)
3. Gently put the encoder strip back in its plastic guide.
4. Restart Printer
