Protecting Your Computer

from Damage

Don't eat food while using your computer as oil and crumbs can get

between the keys and cause damage or attract bugs.

Try to keep animals away from the computer to avoid their fur or

feathers from getting inside and causing problems.

Leaving a computer visible in the car is an invitation to thieves! A car
sitting in the sun can also get very hot which can cause the batteries
inside electronics to explode.

Placing heavy objects on a computer can cause warping, and damage
the keys, screen or the electronic circuitry.

When bringing your laptop indoors on a snowy day, don't turn it on
immediately. Instead, let it warm to room temperature first.

A laptop bag greatly reduces the risk of
damage while transporting or storing

the laptop.
