How to prevent mild shocks in the laptops?
830617
Umm, just taking a stab here, but..Dont drop it?\n\nSeriously, I try not to move my laptops, or set them down hard while they are running.  Doing so could cause the hard drive's read/write head to scrape across the surface of the disk and render it unusable. \nI watch people all the time walking around with their laptops on and then slam them down on a desk to do something else. Not good at all.

I would recommend not.  Two years ago, my Sony Vaio's telephone modem suddenly stopped working during a lightning storm.  The lights hadn't dimmed or anything, so I thought it was just a glitch.  The technician said that just because the power supply was protected by a surge protector, the phone line (which was not plugged into a surge protector) experienced a surge when a telephone box blew a few blocks away (it was a bad storm, but I just had to check my email).  The surge wouldn't have hurt someone on a normal phone, but was just enough to disrupt my delicate computer.  So unless its urgent, or you can work off the power grid (like a laptop), I'd just leave the computer turned off in a storm.

I'm assuming you run your computer on for long amounts of time. The best thing to do is to get a cooling pad like mentioned and to slow down the processor so that it doesn't produce extra heat when not in use/under a large load. http://www.pbus-167.com/chc.htm Notebook hardware control is a great program you could look into to see temps and to slow the processor down when you don't need all 100%. It can also help save battery life when you're not plugged in.

2 things u can do....take it back or ground ur laptop to release staic charge which is shocking u buut take it back static will eventually harm ur machine...do mess with ur own machine unless ur computer savy..if it is fairly new use the warranty..take it back....one way to cure some of this is to take ur socks off if u have carpet...this will stop the stactic build up

such a vag thing so many problems!  you can try all sorts of things.  alot of software is out to debug a computer like norton windoctor etc, could be a virus, could be spyware my good ness could be nearly anything.  Best way if you don't know alot about computers is simply to backup and format then if it crashes you know its hardware.

On a laptop, it shouldn't affect the computer, provided your battery is in good working order.  If your laptop's power supply failed, your batteries should kick in until AC power is restored.  If you think it's your power supply, try to get another one to see if it happens with that one.  If that's not the case, then it may be an internal issue (overheating, for example).\n\nOn a desktop, though, the power supply might be a cause, but then again, viruses, a bad motherboard, or overheating could also be causing your computer to reboot spontaneously.  You'd have to take more notes when it happens - does it happen when you do a particular thing (maybe a virus) or after a certain period of time (maybe a virus or a heating issue), or is it completely random (power supply may be working intermittently)?  And then, after your computer shuts down, does it come back up immediately or does it take a few minutes to start again (maybe a heating issue)?  I would check for viruses first before getting into the case.  If I went into the case, get some compressed air and blow out all the dust, and then see if all your fans are working properly.  And if that doesn't help, try another power supply if you can.

Add more fans - it should help ,or better -open Your computer and put 1 big fan  (its not really safe , but i use it like this ) .

won't hurt the laptop, but will mess up your operating system (the program) because it takes a few seconds for the operating system to do "house keeping" and shut down programs in the right order and save inportant info.

Dry air plus synthetics equals static. There really isn't a cure. Try to wear cottons or use an anti-static such as static guard. They'll help some. \n\nTo avoid shocks from touching things, try to use a pencil, key, or other object to touch things first. It will drain off some of the charge and if there is a discharge, it won't be directly on your skin. If you are wearing rubber soled shoes, such as running shoes, don't scuff them on the carpet. This raises a ton of static.

<>There are issues with some laptop batteries overheating and causing fires.  I suggest you call Dell support and tell them about this ASAP.

A good surge protector will normally take care of any problems. However, I had a lightning strike in my back yard and it blew out my entire pc even with surge protector. I recommend shutting off your pc during a thunder storm.

Unless you have a surge protector and a backup system, it isn't recommended to leave your computer on. If lightning strikes, it can fry out the electronics in your computer.

Kerala, New York, or Madrid...\n\nYou should turn off all electrical appliances during a thunderstorm and disconnect your computer and its components to avoid possible damage to them.

there are no liquid cooling systems for laptops..its not compact enough to fit into a laptop...if you are having overheating probs with your laptop then a USB Fan Cooling Mat can help..also make sure you dont cover/smother the fan/s on the rear of the laptop by using it on your bed (for eg)

Don't touch anything metal that is connected to the outside - i.e. plumbing, wiring.  \n\nMake sure you unplug your computer and tv sets (and anything else electronic) because a direct hit close by will fry the circuits in these things - or at least get some good surge protectors if you forget to unplug or aren't around.
