Jesse Crenshaw Taking care of your computer is not time-consuming, but very useful. For example, proper and careful care guarantees a long life not only for the computer, but also for the different components as a whole. The room where the computer is located should be subjected to regular wet cleaning. It is good if the room is additionally equipped with a special humidifier to maintain the humidity level. The computer itself should also be cleaned from dust at least once a week. You should wipe it with a dry cloth designed for office equipment. In addition, there are special wet wipes for monitors.
The keyboard can be cleaned with a slightly damp cloth. Debris stuck in the keys is cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or cotton swabs if the gaps between the keys are quite large.
The system unit absorbs the most dust, so it is also recommended to clean it with a vacuum cleaner. But this should be done very carefully so as not to damage the components. If the computer is already quite neglected, then the cleaning of dust can be entrusted to professionals. Almost every service center provides such a service. It is also necessary to ensure that all vents, which are in the case of the system, as well as cooling coolers, were open and are not pressed against anything. This allows air to circulate freely and cool your computer.
In addition, it is not desirable for your monitor to be exposed to direct sunlight. Excessive brightness can be detrimental to your eyesight. Therefore, it is important to consider where to install your PC. Also, do not install your computer and other equipment near batteries to avoid overheating. It is important to note that it is not advisable to place all kinds of liquids near the computer, so as not to accidentally spill these liquids on various parts of the computer. After such an incident, the equipment is rarely repairable.
It is not recommended to force the system unit with any heavy objects. This can cause a variety of damage. Frequently turning the computer on and off for very short periods of time may also have negative effects and shorten the life of the computer. This should not be done without an urgent need. Naturally, moving the computer should be done with the power off, because such maneuvers at best threaten the loss of data from the device, and at worst – an electric shock.
As a result, by following the simple rules of computer operation and prevention of its damage you will prolong the service life of your device. And it can significantly save you time and money on its repair.
