What we must know

 

• Always keep the laptop fully charged (battery charged) and definitely clean. When lifting, make sure that you are holding it from the bottom (never lift with the screen) or hold it firmly so that it does not open during lifting.
• If you have to leave the laptop on for a long time, try to turn it off at least once every few days and let it rest for about 15 minutes before turning it on again.
• Monitor and update operating systems (Windows or MacOS), periodically delete old or unwanted programs and files.

 

Care of Device

1. Try to prevent accidents before they happen.

Protecting your laptop is usually up to you to be careful; Let’s see how we can avoid the most common mistakes:

• Keep food and drink away from your laptop. When drinking or holding something while working or playing with your laptop, try to keep your glass and food at least half a meter away from your laptop. Make it a rule that when you put a glass of water in the place where there is a laptop, put this glass at such a distance that the laptop is not damaged in case of water liquid spilling. If you have to eat close to the laptop, close the laptop, and if you want to watch a video on the laptop while eating, then cover the keyboard with something with a surface to minimize the risk of spilling liquid on it.
• Use the laptop in safe conditions, away from direct sunlight, away from heat and cold, away from heating points. In the summer, during high temperatures, it is necessary to place the laptop on a hard surface and to allow air to flow smoothly through the ventilation channels.
• Keep your laptop away from children and animals

 

2. Buy a computer case.

Buying a case is more necessary if you are prone to accidents. In this case, having a hard shell will protect your laptop.

• And if you have to travel, it would be good to have a bag that has a compartment specifically for a laptop

 

3. How to treat the battery.

• Factory laptop batteries are less viable. Battery life decreases with each charge, so it’s best to leave the cable connected to the laptop until it’s not necessary to use the battery (eg if you go on a trip and take the laptop with you).
• A laptop that is always on is at risk of rebooting. However, modern laptops have a system to protect the battery from overcharging – if it turns out that the laptop is turned on most of the time, the system will periodically charge the battery to increase its life. However, if you leave your laptop on, it’s best to turn it off every now and then and rest for a few minutes.

 

4. Ideal conditions for using a laptop.

When using a laptop, try to create the best conditions by observing the following rules:

• Keep your hands clean
• Place the laptop on a clean and dust-free surface
• Make sure the laptop is ventilated and the ventilation channels are not blocked
• Keep the laptop at normal temperature
• If the environment is humid, use a dehumidifier

 

 

5. Clean the laptop often

Cleaning and cleaning your laptop from dust, dirt and debris takes just a few minutes:

• Keyboard
• Ventilation channels
• Screen

 

6. Connect peripheral devices carefully

Peripherals are the devices you plug into your laptop: USB memory cards, printers, headphones, etc. Their connection ports may differ, so pay attention to the shape and size of the connector before plugging into the port.

 

 

7. Do not put different things on top of the laptop.

Heavy objects (this could also include: clothes, phone, books) may push the LCD screen towards the keyboard and damage the screen.

 

8. Hold and lift the laptop from its base (stand), making sure to close the screen before you start transporting and lifting it.

• If you lift the laptop with the screen, you may damage it by pressing your fingers. The screen and base mounts may also be damaged
• If you drop your laptop during transportation, there is a good chance that only the shell will be damaged and the screen and keyboard will survive.
• When transporting the laptop to open it, it is better to hold the bottom with one hand and the side with the other hand.

9.  Protect the screen

Another reason why your laptop screen gets damaged is that when you close it, it touches the keyboard, which is often dusty, oily, and full of food crumbs. The problem can be solved by covering the keyboard with foam or a thin piece of plastic before folding.

 

10. When opening the laptop, use more than one finger and make sure you are holding the bottom of the laptop firmly.

• If you try to open or close the laptop without holding the base firmly, this puts pressure on the base and screen holders, increasing the risk of falling off the surface.
• To avoid all this, try to use several fingers
