Proper maintenance of laptops
We are in an era where almost everything is being done technologically. With the coming of the pandemic, many businesses have turned to remote working. Many people now work in comfort at their home. Of course for this to happen one has to have a computer or a laptop. Having a laptop is more convenient than using an unpotable computer. Generally, for anything to last longer it must be taken care of. Most people are addicted to using their laptops but they are ignorant of the precautions and care that a laptop should be given. Laptops are expensive that’s why they should be given a lot of care so that they can serve you longer.
Some of the precautions include:
• Ensure when using your laptop you do not put it close apparatus that generates a strong magnetic field. These include speakers and television. This is because on production of magnetic field they will destroy the laptop.
• Placing it on a hard surface, making sure there is no space between the laptop base and the surface.
• Avoid placing a laptop on your laps. Opposing to its name, it is not meant for laps. The laptop emits electromagnetic waves that are very harmful. The waves can cause harm to reproductive organs by reducing the sperm count and female egg release. It can also cause some cancer types and also cause pregnancy issues.
• Getting a screen saver for the LED screen. When one closes the laptop screen comes to contact with the keyboard and makes sometimes unnoticeable scratches. The scratches can result in poor visibility hence having a LED screen solves everything.
• Do not use it directly in the bed or pillow.This prevents sufficient ventilation. The pillow closes the ventilation preventing the circulation of air in the holes making the laptop to overheat.
• Make sure to remove any CDs , DVDs and drives when traveling with your laptop.
If the temperatures are high avoid opening the laptop because it may heat up to achieve the high temperatures in the area.
