Nowadays
most computer engineers charge a huge amount for laptop maintenance and repairs,
but the funny thing is that we pay through our noses due to ignorance. In this
post I will be teaching you personally proven and experience steps and tips in
increasing and maintaining the life span of your laptop system. I have been using
my laptop for three years now and counting without visiting a laptop engineer. Most
systems are short-lived due to lack of or poorly induced maintenance. These
steps am about teaching are purely focused on laptop pc though some of these
steps can also be applied on a desktop pc.
1.
Make sure your chargers is firmly
connected to the socket to avoid partial contact which is not good for the chargers
and mother board of the system, and also make sure you are using the appropriate
chargers in term the volt and ampere
2.
Keep
liquids away from your laptop to avoid spillage
and damaging micro components of the system especially the keyboard
3.
Always
have clean hands when using your laptop. Clean hands make it easier to use your laptop touchpad and
there will be less risk of leaving dirt and other stains on the computer.
4.
Don’t keep you laptop
charging all the time once it’s full unplug it and let the battery rundown.
then once a week let it drain fully it help preserve the battery life
5.
Please use a licensed
antivirus program, so many people deceive themselves using a crack version of
an anti-virus program and ignorantly expose
their system to virus and malware
6.
Don't
use your laptop on the bed.
Repeated use of the laptop on the bed will cause the fans to suck up the dust
and debris which lies in the bed, ultimately blocking the fan also the heat emitted
from the vent heats the bed and in turn heats the system which is not good for
your mother board.
7.
Avoid
placing heavy materials, such as books, on top of your laptop and keyboard. This can push the LCD screen into the keyboard, and will
eventually damage it. Also, the CD-ROM insert will also be squished and,
eventually, will break
8.
Protect
the LCD display monitor. When
you shut your laptop, make sure there are no small items, such as a pencil or
small ear-phones, on the keyboard. These can damage the display screen when
shut; the screen will scratch if the item is rough. Close the lid gently and
holding from the middle. Closing the lid using only one side causes pressure on
that hinge and over time can cause it to bend and snap.
9.
At least once a week clean
your system and remove unwanted files and temporary files that slow the
performance of the system, there are so many applications available for that but
I prefer CCleaner download now and also run hard disk defragmentation which aid
the system run faster
10.
Avoid installing too many
programs to avoid over loading the system. Any program you don’t once in 2
weeks should uninstalled lastly avoid too many start up programs because they
slow the system at start up.
Follow
these religious and you won’t have any reason to ever repair your system except
you are getting a new one.
