Ways computer users send their laptops to an early death

Laptops may seem sturdy, but the likelihood of your laptop living past its third birthday is slim? One out of every three computers, one bites the dust before four years. Laptops are more fragile than they appear. They may be fast at processing information, but too many times of your computer heating to temperatures that are hot enough to cause second and third degree burns will shorten the life of any hard drive. Newer processors may keep a hard drive from getting hot as quickly. The only solace may be that it is still possible to retrieve data lost off an overheated and damaged hard drive.

Try not to jostle your computer much when it is running a program that uses the hard drive. Did you know shaking a hard disk drive may harm platters and the heads that write onto the hard disk drive? Still, it isn’t just hard disk drives that need attention. Solid state disk drives also are becoming more popular in laptops. But as with all drives, they have parts that move. Care must be taken not to jostle the drives in the wrong direction because those moving parts in a Solid State Disk Drive could go crashing into the drive heads and ruin the most sensitive parts of the disk drive. Retrieving data on a SSD drive may hit the pocketbook hard if you aren’t expecting the extra cost of calling a data loss recovery expert.

Don’t carry or move a laptop by its Screen

It may seem innocent to pick up your laptop by the top of the computer screen, but you may be causing more damage than you realise. Putting too much pressure on a computer screen can cause your laptop screen to crack. Many laptops, though the screens seem sturdy, they can still crack and break if handled roughly.

Don’t forget to download those updates. By keeping up with updates, it can keep your computer reliable. You might not see if, but changes can affect how fast (or slow) a computer runs. Updates from reputable sources can keep your computer running smoothly. Keeping up with the changes can help your business running smoothly, as running older programs can affect your computer’s operating system. Another practice you should avoid is not to keep installing and deleting a large number of software programs. Uploading and deleting files can change a registry and cause it not to work correctly after multiple additions and deletions.
