 Activity No. 3

Excluding from the discussion above, give at least 10 Tips on Taking Care of Your
Personal Computers and explain.

1. Keep your computer away from food. The crumbs can fall between the keys and
provide an invitation to small bugs or damage the circuitry.

2. Do not use your computer in a room where animals are. Their fur and hair can get
into the internal workings and damage them. Also larger animals (e.g dogs) can
accidentally damage them by knocking them off their support by brushing past, wagging
tail, tripping over leads etc.

3. When using your computer, always have clean hands. If you clean your hands before
using the computer, the wear and tear of the coating caused by contact with sweat and

m
tiny particles that can damage the surface of the laptop would be minimized.

er as
co
4. Hold and lift the computer by its base, not by its LCD display (the screen). You might

eH w
damage the monitor or the hinges connecting the display to the base if you raise it on

o.
the screen alone. The display is also easily scratched by direct pressure or damaged.
rs e
So, avoiding pressure being put on it.
ou urc
5. Insert drives into their slots carefully and at the correct angle. Pushing the drive too
forcefully into its slot could jam it.
o
aC s

6. Check to see if labels are affixed securely before inserting media into your laptop.
vi y re

CDs, DVDs, or floppy disks should not have any loose labels that may jam inside the
laptop. Never insert undersized CDs, as these can damage the disk player permanently.

7. Don't roll your chair over the computer cord. Stick the cord onto your desk with tape
ed d

or a special computer cord tie which can easily be undone when you've finished using
ar stu

the laptop. Always try to keep the cord away from the floor and your legs.

8. Have the unit cleaned annually to remove internal dust. Get this done by a computer
is

professional, or do it yourself if you can. If dust accumulates, the system will not be able
to cool itself correctly. Heat can destroy the motherboard.
Th

9. Use an old toothbrush to clean the area around the exhaust fan screen. If that gets
plugged up, air flow is diminished and overheating can occur.
sh

10. Make sure that while downloading stuff from the web you do not download
unwanted installers which are usually created to install unwanted softwares which are
provided as freeware for providing the file which you require.
