Twin Cities PC Repair, a computer and laptop repair service company based in Eagan, Minnesota, has recently published a blog post that offers five tips on how to protect a laptop from physical damage. It is important to keep a laptop in great shape because of the important role that it plays in people’s lives. For those who work from home, the laptop is a vital tool for their income. It may also contain valuable files, such as personal photographs and videos. Or it could be used for writing a novel, creating art, or making music.

One of the tips is to avoid dropping the laptop. This is actually common sense because the laptop contains circuitry that can easily get damaged when subjected to physical forces. In relation to this, it is also important to avoid getting the laptop wet. Even a simple water spill on a laptop may cause damage to its circuits.

Secondly, laptops should be opened carefully. This is because laptops have become much thinner compared to older models. While this provides them with better looks, it also makes them less rigid and more vulnerable to physical damage. Particularly on lower-cost laptops, the screen may flex if it is opened from just one side. To avoid this, the laptop should be opened from the center.

Third, because of the much smaller clearance between the keyboard and the screen, when the laptop is closed, it is a good idea to avoid putting stickers and other ornaments on the keyboard and on the screen. Even a keyboard protector can cause damage to very thin laptops.

The fourth tip is to disconnect the laptop from the power source carefully. A damaged power cord connection can cause a lot of trouble. It is important to pull the power cord out straight and not yank it sideways. And it is a good idea to ensure that the power cord does not trail along the floor because people could trip over it or it could get caught on a rolling chair. This may not just damage the charging port but it may also pull the laptop and cause it to drop on the floor.

And finally, it is important to prevent the laptop from overheating. The laptop should not be placed on soft, uneven surfaces as this could block its internal fans. It should also be kept away from external sources of heat.
