HOW TO PREVENT LAPTOP FAILURE - Part One

Here are some tips for avoiding those expensive repairs:

-Problem: Motherboard failure Tip: When the power adapter dies, replace it with the original manufacturer's adapter. Less expensive "universal" adapters can deliver excessive power when they fail, resulting in motherboard destruction requiring a costly repair.

-Problem: Corrupted, infected operating systems from malware and viruses Tip: Utilize protective software systems and avoid risky on-line activities.

-Problem: DC Jack/AC Adapter damage Tip: Be gentle with the delicate pin jack in the adapter outlet. If it is pushed too hard or to one side it can short out, break off, or crack the solder connection or motherboard. Be careful not to push the laptop back in to a wall or cabinet or trip over the cord.

DO U HAVE TXT NECK?

Text neck is caused by poor posture from stooping over to tap messages on your phone. "Looking down puts excessive pressure on your neck, causing muscle strain, which can lead to neck and shoulder pain," according to neurologist Orly Avitzur, M.D.

Here are some tips to help prevent gadget-related injuries:
- Take frequent breaks from texting (and typing on your computer) and stretch.
- Type longer e-mail messages on your computer instead of a handheld device.
- Hold your gadget in front of your eyes so that you don't have to look down.
- When you text, rest your forearms on a pillow or other surface for support.
- Take a tech holiday once in a while!
