8.3Maintaining the LCD Quality

When it comes to screen problems, heat plays a significant role. After a typical working session, users routinely close the notebook the cover. The display surface - no matter what type it is - and the components inside the computer radiate heat; when you close the cover, you trap the heat against the screen. To help prolong the life of your computer, leave the cover open for 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 inactive for some time. Adding a screen saver also helps prolong the life of your notebook screen.

Follow the safety guidelines mentioned earlier and how to clean your computer.

8.4Maintaining 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 computer while the hard disk is being accessed, most especially don't jar the hard disk as this may cause a hard disk crash.
