Below is a
list of common mistakes people make with laptops, please take the time to
read them.
They can save us money and increase the life of your laptop.
Do Not Download FREE Software / Music until
you check with your STS.
Do Not Download Antivirus software if you already have one installed. If you
are using a USD259 laptop You already have one installed!
Always keep Laptops off floor. While on the
floor laptops are easily stepped on, pets tend to use them for toys and
small children will play with them.
Always use a surge protector. A power surge can happen at anytime, anywhere
and will ultimately destroy your laptop.
Do not keep paper work in between screen and
keypad. Paper can scratch the screen leaving a costly bill to have it
replaced. Do not stick paper in between keys on the keyboard. You can tear
the protective cover that is in between the keys.
Never leave your laptop in a cold
environment. When you bring your laptop into a warm place condensation will
form and may cause electrical shocks throughout your laptop. Also if you
turn it on while it's still cold this can lead to overloading.
Leaving a laptop in a car can cause damage to the
laptop as well. They can receive damage due to excessive heat!
Do not place your laptop on soft surfaces.
This will block off air vents and overheat your laptop.
Do not drop it while your carrying it. A good
leather case with separate compartments is the safest way to carry your
laptop. Make sure the case has separate compartments for add-ons this will
avoid scratches over your laptop.
Never drink coffee or any liquid around your
laptop. It has been proven that laptops don't like liquids. Your laptop is
not a mini table. Anything you put on top of it can damage the screen and
writing or leaning on it can have the same effect.
Lastly never try to fix your laptop
yourself. Laptops have many small parts that can easily be broken, misplaced
and shocked.
