7.3 Maintaining the LCD Quality
When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a big part. After a good working
session, the typical routine is to shut the machine and close the cover. But the
display surface - no matter what type it is - and the components inside the
computer radiates heat; when you close the cover, you trap the heat against the
screen. Leave the computer's cover open for about ten minutes while the heat
disperses.
You should also enable the power management of your computer to turn off
the LCD power and display when the system is in inactivity for some time.
Adding screen savers is also acceptable.
Follow the safety guidelines mentioned earlier and how to clean your
computer.
7.4 Maintaining Your Hard Disk
Losing your data has worse consequences as a system break down. Users must
make it a habit of performing daily or weekly data backup. Here is some
maintenance you could do:
•
Regularly back up your data files from your hard disk.
•
Keep your Anti Virus software updated.
•
•
Never move or raise the computer while the hard disk is being accessed,
most especially don't jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.
•
•
Install a system password in your computer so others won't be able to use
the hard disk.
