Laptops are expensive gadgets made for mobility. Generally, they are not very tough, and are not known to take too well to being mishandled. If you do end up messing your laptop, even the smallest of repairs will set you back by thousands of rupees.
Preventive
maintenance is the key to obtaining years of trouble-free service from your computer. Laptop systems are especially prone to problems because they are portable and therefore exposed to potentially harsh environments, rougher handling, and more
problems than desktop systems that remain in a single location. All it takes is an accident such as dropping the laptop onto a hard surface to turn thousands of dollars’ worth of computer into so much junk. A little care combined with some simple preventive maintenance procedures can reduce problem behavior, data loss, and component failure as well as ensure a longer, trouble-free life for your system.
Read on to learn how to care for your
laptop. We have also included some important pointers you need to stick to before, during and after using your
laptop.
Since your
laptop is such an expensive gadget ,be extremely careful while
cleaning the screen. Make sure the cloth is very soft, and has no imprints or monograms on it, as these may scratch the screen. Also ensure that the cloth is lint-free, else it will leave fibres on the screen, and make the display unclear. Make sure you don't spray any cleaner directly on the screen. Instead, spray onto the cleaning cloth, and allow the cloth to capture the dirt and contaminants.
Hard drives work on the property of
magnetic flux, so any electrical field may damage the
hard disk and the data on it. Make sure your
laptop is at least 13 cm away from any electrical appliance that generates a strong magnetic field-such as a microwave oven.
It is advisable to spend a couple of thousand rupees and get a sturdy carry-case for your laptop.The case should ideally be hard from the outside and soft on the inside, while being a comfortable fit. It should be able to
absorb shocks and carry your
laptop accessories.You may sometimes be tempted to turn your laptop off by simply holding down the power button until it powers down. Although quick, this method is harmful to the laptop and could cause data loss.A hard reboot should only be used as a last resort. Sometimes this is inevitable, for instance, when Windows hangs.
