Take Care of Your Computer
The climate here in Hervey Bay is wonderful for humans but not so good for expensive things … like computers. The humidity, the dust and even some of the local inhabitants can all do damage to your computer … and you may not even see it happening.
Here’s a photo of a computer that came into Fraser Coast Computers the other day because it had “stopped working.”
As you see it here the modem has already been removed and there is a considerable amount of corrosion on the modem and on the bottom and side of the case. Once the motherboard was removed there was even more damage visible and parts of the motherboard were covered in liquid.
The smell was overpowering and there was little from that computer that could be salvaged.
Computers are not sealed units … there are plenty of openings for all sorts of unpleasant creep-crawlies to get in and once inside they tend to set up home there … and they’re not good housekeepers. So have your computer checked and cleaned regularly by a technician.
A little preventive maintenance can help your computer last a lot longer.
