Preventative Maintenance and Laptops
Preventative Maintenance Techniques
There are several preventative maintenance techniques you
should be aware of for the CompTIA A+ Essentials Certification exam.
First, as we mentioned earlier, laptop computers often
suffer from heat problems. You can alleviate heat issues by using a
cooling pad to reduce the temperate at the
bottom of the laptop.
The cooling pad uses several fans to move heat away from
the laptop. It usually uses DC power via a USB plugin.
Second, you need to be aware that you should only use
approved cleaning solutions for notebook monitors and hardware. Compressed air
should be used to clean out the keyboard and LCD monitor wipes can be used to
clean the screen.
Finally, you should be aware that laptop computers should
be shipped and transported in containers designed for them. This will reduce
the chance for breakage during shipment.
