Tips To Repair Computers Safely:-

· Make Sure To Unplug The Computer:-

Repairing Computers while it is “plugged on” is the most general mistake that everyone commits. This minor mistake can result in the complete failure of your computer. Ensure to unplug the computer before starting its servicing.

In the case of laptops, there are different lights that are meant for different purposes. For Example:- For Charging, For Power Button, For Wi-Fi, etc.

If any of these lights are on then that means the laptop isn’t completely off.

Make sure all the lights are off before excluding the outer panel of the laptop. After taking off the external panel, the first step you should do is drawing out the battery.

Gadgets like mobile phones, tablets, must only be repaired after ejecting their batteries.

· Wait Until Capacitors Drain Their Charge

A capacitor is an electronic device that stores some amount of charge in them. This charge is retained in capacitors even when the computer is plugged out. Hence, it can impose an electric shock on you while doing computer repair or laptop repair.

To avoid this, you should wait for about 1-2 minutes so that charge in the capacitors gets drained out.

· Do Not Wear Any Metallic Jewellery

Most people neglect this precaution and suffer from electric shocks later. The metallic jewellery acts as a conductor and imposes an electric shock.Rings, bracelets, watches can make you electrocuted easily.

Thus, make sure you don’t wear anything in your hands while repairing your computer.

Scorching of electronic elements isn’t very surprisingwhile repairing any device/gadget.

o Unplug the computer or laptop

o Wait until the computer gets cool.(Approximately for 5-10 minutes)
