Just like your car, washing machine, or anything else, computers can become run down over a lengthened period of time. With the amazingly quick pace at which new technology becomes yesterday’s news, many of us never realize the effects of time on our computers before they are fit for the scrap heap. Unfortunately, this oversight can also lead users to neglect the maintainance needs of their machines such as cleaning the fans and case, which can over time lead to hardware failure. With computer owners feeling the squeeze in this financial environment the same as everyone else, it’s good to know that there are a few straightforward and simple things we all can do to boost the lifespan of our computers.

Overheating is one of the most serious concerns for hardware, and one of the simpler problems to minimise risk of or prevent in entirety. Between the small moving parts and electrical currents running through the circuitry, the inside of your machine can get very hot, and if your fans are blocked with dust the computer has no means of dissipating the heat, this can be a very acute problem indeed causing damage to every piece of your system. To find out if your fans need cleaning simply monitor your PC’s temperature. If it feels hot to the touch on the top of the case or the temperature goes up significantly over a few hours, you may need to have it serviced or clean the inside out yourself. All computers have small fans to help disperse the heat created inside the case, in a computer that’s overheating, these could be broken, but if the machine is a few years old then dust is the most likely culprit. The best solution to avoid this occuring is to periodically open up the case of your computer and use a soft paintbrush to displace the dust and then vaccum it out of the case, but be very carefull not to damage any components. Make sure that the computer is switched off and unplugged before you start to clean it to prevent damage to the hardware and risk of electrocution. laptop repair in london

While keyboards and mice are quite easy on the pocket as components go, it’s still wise not to waste money replacing them when you could just as easily keep them in good working order for alot longer. Keyboards are generally damaged when food or drinks get spilt onto them and other small items get stuck underneath the keys. To reduce the risk o this happening don’t eat at the computer, or cover your keyboard if you do. Mice should be used on a clean surface and the optical eye should be cleaned if the mouse is not tracking properly, keep it away from food just as you would your keyboard. In the event that liquid spills on either peripheral, unplug it right away and allow it to dry out thoroughly before testing if it is still working (this will lower the risk of a shortcircuit). computer repair in camden

Another good way to protect the components of your PC involves a little bit of an investment, but it really can mean the difference between life or death for your computer. Instead of plugging it directly into a wall socket or extention lead, you might consider using a surge protector or a universal power supply to protect your computer from powercuts and surges. Both of these issues cause a massive amount of hardware damage and data loss every year. It’s important to get a universal power supply that has enough voltage to run your entire system in order to get the highest benefit, so it may be wise to talk with a professional about your systems power requirements if you choose to protect your system in this manner.
