8.3 Maintaining the LCD Quality
When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a significant role. After a typical
working session, users routinely close the UMPC the cover. The display
surface - no matter what type it is - and the components inside the UMPC
radiate heat; when you close the cover, you trap the heat against the screen. To
help prolong the life of your UMPC, leave the cover open for ten minutes
while the heat disperses.
You should also enable the power management of your UMPC to turn off the
LCD power and display when the system is inactive for some time. Adding a
screen saver also helps prolong the life of your UMPC screen.
Follow the safety guidelines mentioned earlier and how to clean your UMPC.
8.4 Maintaining Your Hard Disk
Losing your data has the same consequences as a system break down. Users
must make it a habit of doing hard disk maintenance every week or so. Here is
some maintenance you could do:
•
Always back up your data files from your hard disk.
•
Install the virus detecting program to monitor virus that could tamper
your files.
•
Use SCANDISK occasionally to correct any errors found in the directory
and File Allocation Table. This will also free up space from any unused
sectors.
•
Never move or raise the UMPC while the hard disk is being accessed,
most especially don't jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.
