Many of us make a set of mistakes that pose a threat to our laptops, causing them to be damaged.
Here are some things we do that actually put more stress on our computer:
Choke cooling fans
Many laptops have one or more fans built into their chassis, designed to draw in fresh air to be blown through the cooler. This air helps remove internal heat, keeping the laptop cool. This process is crucial to all laptops, which is why it’s important to make sure the fans are never choked up.
According to websites specializing in technical affairs, “The main reason for fans to become clogged or choked is dust and hair. The more dust and hair your laptop fans absorb, the more clogged the internal paths of the computer will be. This will eventually lead to overheating, which will damage the system and components. For this reason, regular cleaning is recommended. You can also open the computer case and clean the dust.”
According to the information, “Also, using the laptop on a soft surface such as a blanket, a plush sofa, etc., so that the intake vents are closed, will cause problems; because the computer will not get enough cooling, and the solution is to always use the laptop on a firm surface that does not match the bottom of the chassis so that the intake vents are never covered.”
leaving the computer too hot
Heat is the killer of laptops, and the information says that “faulty fans lead to heat damage, so leaving a computer too hot will be bad for almost everything inside it, accelerating the decomposition process, and completely destroying parts. Also, excessive heat can melt solder, which is critical to keeping system parts connected.”
According to the information, “RAM can overheat and fail, the thermal paste that connects the CPU to the fan or copper coolers can dry out, reducing its ability to stay cool, and heat will also degrade the battery, causing it to lose capacity and shorten its lifespan.”
Permanent battery charging
Heat isn’t the only thing that will degrade your laptop battery, but if you want to make sure your laptop battery lasts as long as possible, you shouldn’t leave it plugged in constantly, and you shouldn’t leave it uncharged either, as both of these extremes will reduce the battery’s lifespan, and you should avoid letting your laptop battery drop to 0%.
moving from cold to warm
Moving from a warm environment to a cold environment can cause moisture condensation, and if condensation forms inside the computer, it can cause electrical shorts in the components, causing the device to fail immediately.
“If you live in a cold place, be careful when bringing your laptop in from outside, make sure to put it in a bag and wait for it to reach room temperature before turning it on,” the advice says. “You should also avoid charging your laptop during extreme cold, as this can damage the battery.”
