Step 1: Treat it like your Baby
No matter how strong your laptop is; remember it is fragile in nature. Many times when we return back from home after work; the first thing most of us always do is to pitch our laptop bag onto the bed, table or the place where we have an habit of keeping it without realizing that we have kept it hard on the floor. Doing this often tends to damage either the display or the hard-drive of the laptop as these two components are the most fragile. You can avoid this damage by affording a bag which gives you maximum protection; place your laptop gently on the surface; and avoid moving it when your hard-drive is performing any operations. You laptop will thank you for this!
Step 2: Keep it Clean
All the electronic devices we use in daily life are dirt magnets including our laptops. The display screen, keyboard and the fan of your laptop suck up the dust just like your vacuum cleaner does. So always clean your hardware on regular basis, keep your laptop in a place where there is minimal dust. There are many cleaning kits available in the market. Keeping your laptop clean on regular basis can increase its lifespan significantly.
Step 3: Don’t charge the battery too often
How many of you remove your laptop battery when it is plugged in an outlet? If your answer to the above question is NO, then probably you need to change them into YES for the sake of your laptop! Always remove your battery when your laptop is plugged in; when you do so it increases your battery’s life. If you leave it in the AC power will overheat and overcharge the battery which causes harm and decreases the life. When you work with the battery in, use it till your machine warns you for low-battery and then recharge the battery to the maximum.
Step 4: Use Hibernate; instead of Standby mode
The next thing to remember is to use Hibernate mode instead of Standby. Why? Because in the Standby mode your machine is still using the battery power in small fragments which eventually consumes the whole power and reduces the charge cycle of your laptop battery. You can avoid this by using Hibernate mode as it saves your laptop’s current state writing it as a file to the hard-drive which requires no power. When you restart; hibernate mode just loads the file which returns you; where you left just like standby and without consuming the battery power.
Step 5: Keep your Laptop Cool
Laptops generally get overheated; this may be due to heavy usage or plugging it too often with the battery in. The hotter it gets; the more it is prone to any component failure and if you are using it routinely on a bed or couch you are making it more difficult for the machine to vent out the air. Avoid this situation by using a cooling pad. This not only draws away heat from the system, but also increases lifespan of the laptop’s internal fan as it won’t be running too long or very often.
