Laptop Maintenance, Easy Tips

May 13th, 2011

For most people, a laptop is a big investment.  By following a few simple steps you can keep your machine out of a laptop repair shop, and in good, working shape for a longer period.  In order to keep it out of the computer repair shop, you need to keep a few things in mind.

To begin with, avoid putting your laptop through temperature variations.  Also, it should not be in any place where it is likely to encounter lots of dust.  Not doing this can increase the odds of malfunction and data loss.

Avoid intense heat.  When outside, try to avoid keeping your laptop in direct sunlight for any long period of time.

Despite the name, avoid putting the laptop on your lap.  This can block airflow to critical internal components, causing potential overheating.

Treat your laptop like the fragile item that it is.  Do not man-handle it. Because you _can_ eventually damage things by not using proper care when picking it up, setting it down, and opening up the top when you are about to use it.

Since laptops are mobile, it is very easy for foreign materials to get inside the keyboard, vents, ports and other openings.  Be diligent in protecting these areas.  Avoid eating and drinking near your laptop.
