Laptop in a BAG issue 2
Did you ever take the laptop out of the bag, and it was super-hot?
As we continue with the transport issue, the other most usual case is when the laptop just stops working.
You open it ready to do the task and nothing is going on. Plugging the charger is not helping, holding the power button is not working…
We don’t know but often the laptop can open as the lid for some reason, lifts from the base.
The laptop starts and the lid closes in the bag while moving and you have no idea why the laptop is not starting.
Often the laptop has overheating protection, and this makes the laptop shut down and lock itself.
In the worst case scenario, the laptop continues to work, and the heat just builds up to the level where the components in the laptop are permanently damaged and it needs to be replaced. Most likely it is the processor – the graphics chip, the graphics chip – chipset or any other combination.
So most important is to remember to shut down the laptop before traveling and that will prevent this disaster from happening.
The Laptop Service Issue
In just a few words I would like to express the need for service of the laptop that you own.
This applies to all brands of computers: Mac or PC.
If the laptop is used 24/7 the result of build up micro dust particles is normal.
In 6-8 months it is strongly advised to get your laptop checked. The cost of cleaning is around 1 to 2 hours of labour in usual case.
If you don’t service the laptop there will soon be no air flow in the laptop and the fan will start to be very loud.
Most of us know this situation, as the laptop gets older the speed is not there anymore. At some point the laptop just stops working.
Most of us are driving on daily basis. Can you imagine if you never changed or added engine oil to the car, and never took the car to the garage?
I guess that is why we got introduced the servicing and MOT. So why we are not doing this for the tool – which is often doing most for us?
You are forced to buy a new laptop around 18 months. After servicing in most cases the laptop is still in good performance and no need to purchase a new one.
Lets try to save the planet instead of emptying our own pockets.
