There are eight points for notebook computer maintenance process you must pay attention to. Sharing with you herein.

First, pay attention LCD protection. LCD protection film will not demolish bacause it can avoid the dust and fingerprints; Do not use sharp objects such as pens, etc. direct contact with the LCD screen, it would be likely to make LCD scratched. Laptop can not bear too heavy objects on its top, it might be led LCD to the breakdown.You should pay attention to product packaging bag mark about the biggest bear weight. You can stick industrial alcohol or glass cleaner on a soft cotton cloth to gently wipe the LCD screen in a straight-line method, but do not excessive so as to avoid into the LCD cracks, causing short circuits and LCD line corrosion.

Secondly, pay attention to battery maintenance. Heat is the killer affecting chemical activity, in a long-term electricity will not only result in the battery temperature is too high, the relative high temperature also affect the chemical activity of the battery, accumulated for a long time will lead the battery chemical energy slowly lower, and finally reduce the time of the battery power supply. Therefore, customers who use an external power supply prolonged should remove the battery after the battery is full, that is to ensure that the chemical activity of the battery in the best. If the battery is a long time without using, you must charge and discharge it at least once a month. When the first access to notebook computer, the battery should be sufficient for eight hours in order to allow the battery to maintain the best condition.

Third, pay attention to maintain the keyboard. The keyboard is very easy to accumulat a number of inter-city dust.The dust can be cleaned with a brush in the gap, or using the general the camera lens cleaning, high-pressure spray device cans, blow out the dust. As for the top of the keyboard, it can be cleaned with the steady-cleaning spray soft cloth, then lightly over the keyboard, so not only grease on the keyboard can be easily removed, can also increase the friction between the keyboard with your fingers, so playing words will more smoothly. However, people should be careful not to sprinkle water on your keyboard, which could lead to serious damage to the internal printed circuit board, and personally at risk. If this case happens, you should be cut off power immediately, remove the battery, and then look for professionals to deal with, do not self-demolition, this may increase damage.

Fourth, note that the use of the hard disk. Generally speaking, the most vulnerable is when the hard disk is the startup and shutdown. When the hard disk boot activation, the motor rotation has not yet stabilized, at this time shocking, then, disc is prone to make bad sectors. While the shutdown, the hard disk platter is not completely static, we arbitrarily moved, this time is also very likely to cause harm to the hard disk. In addition, the notebook computer should be in a stable situation, to avoid use the computer in the train, car and other shaking locations, that can extend the life of the hard disk!

Fifth, pay attention to protect CD/DVD-ROM and floppy disk driver. Try to avoid smoking next to computer when using the CD/DVD-ROM, the nicotine in cigarettes would be gathered in the CD/DVD laser head, resulting in reading disabilities. Do not use low-quality discs, irregular shape of the disc, or they will be severely damaged laser head. Usually available CD/DVD cleaning tablets, cleaning CD/DVD read head. Floppydisk driver, too, try not to read floppy disk which is not read too long or have been slightly moldy.

Sixth, pay attention to fans care. Should regularly check whether there is dust accumulation caused by the fan cooling bad, and then affect the stability of the computer.  Dust can be cleaned with a small brush, stretching into the internal fan, gently wipe. ASUS notebook computers, just starting up its machines, it will automatically test your computer’s fan, if the fan is no response, we recommend that you contact with the service station in order to avoid overheating causing damage to the machine.

Seventh, pay attention to the use of touch pad. Keep hands clean when using the touchpad to avoid the mouse pointer run around. If surface is dirty, you can gently wipe clean with soft cloth. Touchpad adopts electrostatic induction principle, do not use sharp objects writing above, nor do the weight to use, so as to avoid damage and distortion.

Eighth, other considerations. Switch on/off LCD cover gently, in order to avoid too heavy due to LCD cable loose, then causing the screen flicker. If your laptop screen left and right sides of the card-style bamboo design, open on both sides want to dictate the same time in order to to avoid the card-lock due to dictate uneven fracture; avoid unattended laptop computer, prevent errors caused by sitting LCD rupture. When put away laptops to purses, remember the department’s internal buckling in order to avoid unintentional opening lead fall and the damage; notebook computer bag is usually after the design load, back-laws in general no problem, but too much debris into the strap can be overloaded and the fracture; normally do not laptop long time of exposure in the overheated carriages, the notebook computer parts that will lead to premature aging; should be regularly updated drivers in order to ensure notebook compatibility and stability, regular backups of important information in the notebook in order to reduce the risk of data loss; Unless there are special instructions, or notebook computers are not all the peripheral interface to connect peripheral devices when the boot; laptop computers are high-frequency electronic devices, to avoid external interference, such as mobile phones, can not be placed in a notebook computer that is running, otherwise, to the phone may lead to laptop crashes or automatic shutdown.
