If the optical drive is also working, it may also damage the laser head. In addition, in these public places, it is best for us to find a seat by the window to prevent someone from squeezing into us when the aisle is crowded and spilling the drink in our hands on the laptop keyboard. Also, be careful about the person sitting in the seat in front of you. If the other person's chair back suddenly leans back, it may damage the laptop screen that you are working on your lap. When the laptop is not in use, it is best to place it in the small compartment under the front seat. If it is placed in the overhead luggage compartment, there is a risk of it falling or being crushed by other luggage. If it can only be placed there, we should place it upright, with one side against the trunk wall and the other side supported by a piece of luggage.
8. Charge the battery properly
The newly purchased battery must be fully charged at least once, then drained, and only be used after the second charge. It is best to remove the battery when the laptop is running on AC power indoors to avoid being constantly charged. It is best to close the laptop when charging so that the battery can be fully charged. Do not unplug the power source during charging. After charging, the battery should be allowed to rest for 30 minutes before use. This can maintain the health of the battery. If the battery is not used for a long time, its power will automatically drain; if the battery is in a state of no power for a long time, usually for more than a week, its performance will be affected. Therefore, even if the battery is not used temporarily, it is best to fully charge it every month or so to keep it in fighting condition. If the battery has not been used for a long time, the battery will regain its vitality as long as it is fully charged and discharged 3 times. When running a laptop on AC power and battery at the same time, do not remove the battery, otherwise the battery may be damaged. The correct method is to turn off the computer first and then remove the battery.
9. Don’t turn on and off the laptop frequently
Maybe we are used to using PCs. We often turn on the computer when we need to use it, and turn off the power when we don’t need to use it. In this way Can fully save power. However, when using a PDA computer, we must remember that frequently closing and opening the laptop will consume a lot of energy. Therefore, if we sometimes want to use the computer again after a short period of time, try not to completely shut down the computer. , and let it be in the suspend or sleep state, because this state can store all data in the memory and turn off the power.
10. Don’t let your laptop touch water.
Always warn yourself to keep those water sources away from your laptop. It is best to keep a large rainproof plastic bag in your laptop bag to prevent the machine from being damaged in rainy days. In addition, do not use your laptop as a dining table or coffee table, and never spill tea or drinks on the laptop. Once water drips into the keyboard, it may damage the keyboard.
11. Customized power management options
In addition to the built-in power management function of Windows, we can also use specialized power management software, which can prompt when the battery is almost empty. We charge the battery and are able to tell us how long the existing battery power will last before it needs to be recharged. What is introduced below is a monitoring software that is better than power management, and it is a free downloadable software. This power monitoring tool is called PowerCenter. The latest version is V2.10, which is only 800KB. It is a software specially designed for notebook computers. Windows' built-in power management displays the battery level in percentages, such as 70 remaining, etc. However, in addition to displaying the percentage, PowerCenter can also calculate the actual usable time and display it in hours and minutes, allowing users to know exactly how long the battery can be used.
12. Back up important hardware programs
Because the hardware drivers of laptop computers are relatively unique, it is necessary to make backups in case they are lost. Of course, if that doesn't work, we can also download it from the manufacturer's website or ask the dealer for it.
The recovery CD that comes with the machine is used to redo the system, that is, to format the hard disk and restore it to the factory state. It is generally used when the system crashes or the hard disk is in chaos. Do not confuse it with the driver backup disk.
13. Pay attention to the safety of the laptop when carrying it with you
Many users like to place some hard objects together with the laptop when carrying it with them. We have to be very careful when carrying it, because these hard objects may rub against the laptop and damage the casing of the laptop. Therefore, we should not place pens, external drives, or other sharp objects in the same compartment as the laptop, especially not touching the side of the display. Before taking your laptop out, you should remove the disc from the optical drive. Otherwise, if the disc is dropped or bumped, the disc will collide with the magnetic head or laser head, which will damage the data on the disc or the drive.
14. Prevent dust from invading the notebook
Since the equipment of laptop computers is relatively delicate, in order to prevent dust from invading, we must bring a special laptop bag when we go out to use the computer. In addition, it is best not to open the laptop outdoors, because there is relatively much dust outdoors, especially in windy and sandy weather. Once the dust enters the laptop, it may affect the heat dissipation performance of the computer, causing the laptop to Internal equipment is deteriorating. In addition, the laser head of the optical drive is also very sensitive to dust. Many optical drives have a reduced disk recognition rate after long-term use because of excessive dust. Therefore, when we use the computer, we must use it in a dust-free environment; after using the computer, we must use a special laptop bag to protect the computer to prevent the laptop bag from being invaded by dust.
15. Do not expose your notebook to strong light.
The harm of strong light to the laptop display is often overlooked. The display body is exposed to sunlight or strong light. Over time, it will easily age and turn yellow. Moreover, the phosphor of the picture tube will also age under strong light, reducing the luminous efficiency. After the luminous efficiency decreases, we will have to adjust the brightness and contrast of the display very high, which will further accelerate the aging of the picture tube filament and phosphor, and the final result will be a shortened display life. In order to avoid such a result, we must use the laptop in a place with weak or no sunlight.
16. Try to keep the notebook fully charged.
Generally, the built-in battery of a notebook computer is used to maintain the basic settings of the computer in the CMOS, and is roughly divided into two categories. The first type is the lithium battery commonly used in notebook computers. They are firmly welded to the bottom plate of the notebook computer and cannot be charged. They can be used for about 3 years. The other type is the rechargeable battery that is rarely used in notebook computers. The battery must be charged regularly. If the battery is exhausted, it will cause the device to fail to boot. Moreover, charging can only occur automatically when the computer is turned on, so it is best to use this type of laptop frequently and not leave it alone for too long. Generally speaking, if the user has not used this kind of laptop for about half a year, it will not start up.
17. Do not use a laptop hard drive that is too large.
Within a certain range, the larger the capacity of the laptop hard drive, the better. Of course, if the capacity of the hard drive is too large, Because the larger the hard disk, the relatively longer time it takes to search for data. At present, the hard disk speed of most notebook computers is 4900rpm, and the hard disk speed of common computers is already 5400rpm. Although the higher the speed, the higher the overall performance of the machine, the higher the power consumption. This is a problem for notebooks. Very disadvantageous. Nowadays, laptop hard drives are basically above 4GB. Unless the user needs to store a large amount of multimedia data, this capacity should be sufficient. But if you need to use a laptop instead of a desktop computer, or if you do not have any backup device (such as CD-RW or ZIP, etc.), then your hard drive will be larger.
18. Pay attention to the details during use
Do not pile up debris around the laptop. On the one hand, it may affect the normal heat dissipation of the computer. On the other hand, it may prevent debris from falling and damaging the laptop. . When moving your laptop, don't forget to unplug the power cord and signal cable. When plugging or unplugging the power cord and signal cable, you should shut down the computer first to avoid damaging the components of the interface circuit. In addition, do not use or store your laptop in an environment below 5℃ or above 35℃. When the laptop is "frozen" or "heated" outdoors, remember to let it return to room temperature before turning it on. . If the battery is completely discharged before each charge (this is not required for lithium-ion batteries), the battery will perform better. If the battery is not used for a long time, it will be better to store it in a cool place.
