If you have a laptop computer then you know what it means to rely on it everyday in practically every way. That is to say (I think that rhymed) laptop users are different than desktop users because we make moves. We are mobile-types who take advantage of what technology has to offer.
Because of their "mobile mentality", laptop users frequently encounter the need for laptop computer repair. Constantly being on the move means more exposure to hazards such as water, heat, and general "roughing" up.
I have found that there are 3 key points laptop PC owners should hit if they want to keep their laptop running smoothly and reliable, and consequently avoiding the need for laptop computer repair. Those three "pillars" are cleaning your laptop correctly, maintaining your laptop regularly, and speeding up your laptop at all times. Following these basic guidelines will keep your laptop running outstanding saving you the time, money and the frustration that comes when laptops slow down or worse yet, just don't operate. There are lots of things people would rather do that call a laptop pc repair specialist.
The first and most crucial element is cleaning your laptop. Once a week is how frequent I did this, and I would recommend you do the same. Materials needed include:
1. pressurized air
2. lint free cloth
3. sponge for make-up applying
4. non alcoholic solution for cleaning
People frequently make the mistake of cleaning the outside of their laptop the same as they would clean the inside. The casing of the laptop needs to be cleaned with the solution and the cloth without lint. Make sure you do not apply the solution directly to the laptop casing and instead spray it onto the cloth before applying.Never use alcohol on interior parts. The pressurized air bottle is all that is needed for this.
When cleaning the monitor make sure you turn it off first. This will make scrathes and other smudges more easy to see. Use a lint free cloth to clean the monitor but make sure to avoid using alcohol... most laptop monitors can be damaged badly by applying alcohol.
A good idea for the keyboard is to turn it upside down and use the compressed air. The vast majority of dust will be removed by this.
null Although these are easy steps, most people do not take the time and effort, and end up paying for laptop computer repair down the road.
First, make sure that whenever you are not actually using your laptop, it is closed and in a padded case with either a zipper or a strap (zipper preferred). This will mitigate dust which can wreak havoc on electrical systems.
This might go without saying, but it is critical to keep laptops out of extreme heat and away from the beach where sand tends to infiltrate the keyboard. Because laptops are so portable we tend to take then ANYwhere. This is cool but not always the smartest use of our time. Beach sand is notorious for shutting down laptops.
The most popular pillar is the speeding up and/or optimizing of laptops. Around 1 year from when they are bought from the retailer, most laptops begin to deteriorate. Given this, the best way to do this is to either buy more RAM, defragment the hard drive, use your o/s's system memory cleanup, and optimize the power saving options so resources are not wasted when they are not being used.
So laptop users, you are now informed on the most basic yet effective ways to keep your laptop in tip top shape. Of the lots of benefits of treating your laptop device well, is that you will significantly reduce your need for laptop pc repair down the road.
