Especially in a metro city like Chennai, the first thing that comes to your mind during monsoon is water clogged roads and traffic jams. You take extra effort to protect your laptops and gadgets since you get direct exposure to rain and moisture due to long waiting time in signals.
Imagine you are travelling in a water clogged OMR to your office for an important meeting and your laptop is drenched in rain and unfortunately there is no Laptop service center in OMR. Scary isn’t it?.Just because it’s raining outside, you can’t keep your laptop or other gadgets at home since it helps us to stay connected and it is nearly impossible to work without a laptop.The rain will eradicate the dust. Yet, it brings a lot of moisture into the atmosphere which is the real culprit. Moisture can be toxic to your laptop and other electronic devices and it is always necessary to keep your laptop away from moisture. We, the best laptop service center in OMR, Navalur is here to tell you the tips to take care of your laptop in the rainy season.
Precautions based on exposure to weather
- Ensure your laptop is carried in a waterproof bag to avoid direct exposure from rain. It is even better if you cover up your laptop with a waterproof case for additional protection.
- Put silica gel packets into your laptop bag that changes color when it is exhausted of absorption. Silica gel is a great absorber of moisture that keeps your laptop bag moisture free. Replace the silica gel packets with new ones before it changes the colour completely.
- Always store your laptop in a dry area. Practicing this will help you to prevent faults on the keyboard and logic board.
- Never keep your laptop near the window whether it is your office, home or in the car. There are high chances that small water droplets can penetrate micro-circuitry and make your laptop malfunction.
Precautions based on power fluctuations
- Never ever connect your laptop to PowerPoint when the power is fluctuating. Though we use protective devices like surge protectors, and spike busters. it is always advisable not to connect your laptop during power fluctuation since the electronic devices are very sensitive.
- Remove the charging adapter from your laptop before you go to bed. Lighting is one of the common phenomena during monsoon which can damage your laptop permanently. However, excessive charging will also reduce your battery life.
- If your laptop is connected to the internet via a wired cable, make sure your laptop is free from the wired cable. Sometimes, this could also be a major reason for the power failure.
What if you follow all these tips and somehow your laptop is drenched in rain. That’s really unfortunate right? Well sometimes it happens. Don’t worry. Don’t try to power on the computer immediately. Remove the battery and allow the laptop to get dry naturally. Remove the power cord if it is connected. Since the water present inside the Laptop increases the risk of power flow to the motherboard which will make your device non-repairable. In a worst case scenario , a dryer or blower would help you to make your laptop dry faster.
