If you have a Laptop computer you must look after it quite carefully to give it a chance to last for many years. Generally laptops are more sensitive than desktops in all respect and as a result of that it is more prone to break down than a desktop. If you follow the below mentioned tips you can easily run your laptop for many years to come.
Battery
Battery problems on laptops seem to be one of the common problems that happen to almost all laptops.. When the AC Adaptor plug is used the battery acts as a back up. But if you start using the battery this time the battery becomes hotter than usual. This leads to the shortage of your battery life. So at the very beginning you have to avoid such unintentional mistakes.
Sometimes when you are not using the laptop it is put into the bag leaving the battery on. This is nothing but wastage of battery back up and as a result of that the battery life becomes shorter than usual. So when possible always try and use the mains leads.
Turn off your laptop
It is better to run your laptop giving some breaks or intervals when you are not using it for hours. So at night, always remember to shut down you laptop.
Blocking the air vents
If the air vent gets blocked due to the misplacement of its base then the laptop may overheat. Try to clean air vents every 7 to10 days.
Fans
if the fans inside the laptop become out of order they lead to overheat and as a result of that the laptop may function abnormally.
Surfaces
