Larry Hechler Class Talk

Computer maintenance of your hardware is extremely important to ensure the safety of your work and lifespan of your personal computer. Larry Hechler shared some tips in class about saving work and prolonging the lifespan of your computer. Mr. Hechler pressed the importance of saving and backing up work on an external hard drive. Once a hard drive dies, it cannot be recovered. As for cleaning computers, it is important that you do not spray anything on the LCD panel or keyboard, especially not ammonia or acetone. lap tops have a vent in the back of the keyboard that should never be covered by placing the laptop on blankets or pillows. this vent functions to keep the computer from over heating. If I were to purchase a new computer, I would buy a DEL with a warranty plan. Mr. Hechler let us know that the warranty plan will replace the computer up to 4 years if it should incur any damage.
