Is your laptop working slow and you have reached the verge of throwing it against the wall? Don't blame the laptop and don't blame the company that manufactured it! It may be your fault.
(prHWY.com) September 12, 2012 - Mississauga, Canada -- Is your laptop working slow and you have reached the verge of throwing it against the wall? Don't blame the laptop and don't blame the company that manufactured it! It may be your fault. Yes. Our sneaky habits cause problems in laptops over time. When I was in college, one of my friends showed up late for a presentation. As he sat beside me and switched on his laptop, I noticed that it had very prominent glowing spots on the screen while the rest of it was relatively darker than usual. I was perplexed because I did not know that something like that could happen to your laptop!
When I asked him about it, he told me that he had accidentally spilled cola over his laptop screen! Poor thing, the laptop had crossed its warranty period 2 months before the incident. Good heavens, how does anyone be that careless? But, let's face it. Most of us give in to lethargy after 6 months of buying our beloved MacBook, Dell, Vaio or HP. The power cord that was once pulled out oh so gently like you could snap its bone if you were a little harsh, is now pulled out like you could give it multiple fractures. But, hey! That is a wire so you don't care much. And then, the day comes when your beloved, ahem, laptop doesn't respond to you and goes blank like it breathed its last, you sit there praying to God to make it come back to life. It may not just be your cord pulling routine, but also the way you have been taking care of your laptop, taking it for granted.
Tips to Care for Your Laptop
Don't Pull the Plug
I just mentioned it, how you pull the battery charger by the cord to unplug it tremendously affects its life. Don't be so lazy, you fool! Just to avoid taking 2 leaps to switch off the plug, you pull the cord. Very soon, you will need to empty your pockets to buy a new charger because this one will stop working due to loose wiring. You are educated and you are mature enough to care for your laptop, so get up and switch off the plug. Now, disconnect the charger from the socket using the plug, not the cord! If you subject the socket and the cord to such shock, they will both stop working and there might be a short-circuit someday. Also, try not to trip over the cord or rest furniture on it, even when not in use. I'd suggest that you either tape it to the floor or tie it up.
It's Not Your Theater
I know, we all love watching movies on the laptop because it is so multipurpose and I am not going to stop you from doing so. But, you better keep a check on yourself and keep the food away from the laptop. It deserves that kind of respect. Keep your colas, ketchup bottles, water and all greasy food away. You never know, a little drop might trickle down the keyboard or you might share the same fate as my friend in the above incident. It might end up being a victim of a short-circuit and you will lose all the data. In fact, once, my laptop just gave up out of the blue and when I went to the company's service center, they told me it was the moisture that had corrupted the motherboard. This is when I hadn't even brought any liquid near it. But, it was the monsoon season! Make it a rule, no food, especially liquids, at least within a 5 feet radius.
