Need Less Toshiba Repairs Through Proper Computer Care

Like all gadgets (or vehicles), your computer needs to regularly “see” a technician for Toshiba repairs and maintenance. But you can lengthen the interval between visits by keeping your computer properly cared for.

As discussed in Make Use Of you need to regularly run upgrades for your operating system and the software that you use. If you think you need it, you may also consider upgrading your hardware to improve its performance.

And if you’ve read articles about computer maintenance before, then you may have noticed that one of the most emphasised maintenance procedures is cleaning your computer. This is because dust and dirt tend to accumulate on PCs and laptops, and small particles can get in between keys, in nooks and crannies, and even inside. When grit and grime build up, especially in the cooling system, your computer won’t be able to function to the fullest, and may even overheat.

Now, while the outside is much easier to clean than the inside, careless cleaning won’t do. You can brush the dust off the surfaces, and you can use canned air to blow away dirt. You can also carefully shake debris out from under the keys. If you’re going to wipe, then use lint-free cloth. But what you mustn’t do is spray liquid directly onto your computer. If you need to use a liquid LCD cleaner, then spray it onto a cloth.

For those hard-to-reach areas, try using cotton swabs; you can use a switch cleaner to get rid of the dirt from the ports.

Cleaning inside your computer is a bit trickier. You may have read plenty of articles that tell you that it’s easy and okay to open up your laptop. But it’s not as simple as that. There are plenty of sensitive components inside with tiny wires that may get damaged if you don’t know what you’re doing. So unless you’re absolutely postive that you can handle cleaning the inside of your machine, you’d be better off seeking the help of a certified Toshiba technician.

If you’re thinking of upgrading your hardware, you can also go to an authorised Toshiba service centre. They will be able to tell you if your unit can be upgraded, and they can give recommendations on what parts would be best suited for your laptop’s model.
