How to care for a computer?
A computer is not only expensive, but also "fragile"device. Microcircuits of the computer are very sensitive to mechanical action, require a certain temperature regime, do not "like" moisture and dust. That your computer served you faithfully for many years, do not forget to take care of him.
Smart computer care begins with choosing a place for him. A computer is highly undesirable to place nearsources of heat (batteries, fireplaces, etc.), in a damp room. The basis for the computer must be firm and stable. The room in which the computer is located must be regularly ventilated and cleaned.
How can I take care of a computer? One of the main requirements for proper care forcomputer - regular cleaning. The fact is that the computer case is a real "dust collector". Thanks to the "friendly" work of coolers (on the processor, power supply, video card), the air flow is "sucked" inside the case. And along with the flow of air, the dust penetrates into the system block, because it is almost always present in the air.
Dust settles on the components of the system unit. Than it threatens? By itself, dust to the computer is not harmful, but static electricity, which is formed when the dust rubs against metal contacts of microcircuits, can cause significant harm. therefore Dust must be cleaned regularly.
The easiest way to do this is with a vacuum cleaner, which is equipped with a special nozzle, but you can do without a nozzle, the main thing is to be careful and do everything carefully.
Start dusting, accumulated in the computer, it is necessary only then,when the computer is completely de-energized. For a greater safety, you can remove static electricity from yourself by grasping the unpainted part of the central heating battery, for example. It is better not to carry out the work of cleaning the computer in synthetic clothing.
Outer housing part can be wiped with a slightly damp cloth, thenwipe dry. To clean the inside of the computer, you need to open the housing cover. With the help of a Phillips screwdriver, the screws fastened to the end of the lid on the top and bottom are unscrewed. The lid should be pulled slightly back against the body and removed. At this stage, you can vacuum the ventilation grille of the cover.
When the lid is removed, you can start vacuumingCPU cooler, motherboard and other places of dust accumulation. The main rule - do not touch the nozzle to the surface of the parts, otherwise you can accidentally knock off the smallest contacts. When cleaning dust from coolers, it is important not to let them unwind, holding them with your fingers.
If you have the experience of removing and installing a computer"Iron" in the connectors, you can remove the necessary parts for cleaning, and then put in place. This is especially true for a video card whose cooler is inconvenient to "pick up" when the card is installed.
AT power supply unit especially a lot of dust accumulates. If the computer is cleaned regularly, then it is enough to vacuum the PSU without disassembling it. However, if the last time cleaning was done a long time, then using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws holding the cover of the PSU, then remove the cover itself. After the dust is removed, return the lid to its place.
Clean computer It remains only to collect, returning all the details to their places and closing it with a lid.
