Heat will slowly kill your laptop or any electronic device, for that matter. Never expose your laptop to direct heat or sunlight as it can damage your laptop severely from inside. The CPU, hard drive, video card, the battery can get irreversibly damaged.
Laptop considering their operation, generate copious amount of heat and hence have a heat sink mechanism to keep the laptop cool and prevent it from internal as well as external damage.

Keeping into account the amount of power your laptops draw on a regular basis, it is imperative that you have a dedicated surge protector to prevent any damage from a change in voltage or any minor power surge.
You should never browse the web without malware protection, because no matter how admissible the website it, they are still very much vulnerable to malware threats, which when you go online can pass on to your system and damage it severely.

24 Aug | NEED TO REPAIR BROKEN LCD OF YOUR LAPTOP? HERE ARE A FEW THINGS TO KNOW |
Laptops are expensive and if there’s any kind of damage to its delicate parts, it sure will cost you a pretty penny especially if it’s the screen or LCD that’s damaged. WHile some choose to replace their laptops instead of repairing their broken LCD, if your laptop hasn’t been through too much of wear and tear, getting your screen replaced is a better option financially as well as ecologically. Electronic waste produces huge amount of carbon emission every year and thus you’ll be doing planet earth a favour if you use these gadgets to their full life before discarding them.
If you have a broken LCD or are suspecting one, here are a few things you should know about dealing with it :
How Do you Know If The LCD Is Broken?
A broken LCD may not always be in the form of a visible crack or completely shattered screen. Damage to LCD can show in other signs like distorted images, resolution lines on the screen, or the screen doesn’t turn on at all. Color splotches on the screen also indicate damaged screen. However, there may be other hardware issues that can lead to such symptoms. To clear the confusion, try connecting your laptop to an external screen and see if you face the same problems. If you do, then your LCD is probably fine and it’s your other hardwares that are faulty.
Repairing It Yourself?
While repairing a broken screen yourself can save you some money, it is not as easy as you think. Moreover, if your laptop is under warranty or you have an additional damage cover, take your laptop to a professional to get it fixed.
That said, it’s not impossible to fix your screen yourself at home. It’ll require some tools and a great deal of patience and a couple hours at max. Find a replacement before you open your screen and if you’re doing it for the first time, it’s better to document the process so that it’s easier for you to put it all back together.
Moreover, if your device has a warranty excluding accidental damage, getting your device opened and fixed anywhere other than authorized repair shops can cause the warranty to end then and there. Make sure you red the terms and conditions of the warranty before trying to fix your device yourself.
Are There Any Options?
After you’ve made sure that it’s your LCD screen that’s damaged, you can find that warranty card and see if it covered in your insurance like AppleCare if any, or not. If not, you have 2 options, either get the screen replaced or get your laptop replaced. Getting a screen replaced is a better option because of many reasons. First and most obvious is the cost. A screen replacement will, on average cost you $150 to $300 depending on the kind of laptop you have. Getting a new laptop will also mean you will probably lose the data in your older laptop. Moreover, replacing your laptop with a new one will add on to the already high amount of e-waste generated every year, which is reaching 50 million tonnes every year.

06 Aug | Samsung Screen Repairs – How to find a worthy technician? |
Mobile phones have blessed with a connectivity like never before. Most of us can’t go even an hour or two without our smartphones. I know this sounds quite relatable to the most of you.

Now that you have a broken phone, what to do next? You can’t continue using the same phone for longer because it may further push the damage to beyond repairable.
Whether you have ever been to an official service center or not, you are well-aware of the unreal repairing cost they ask for. The bait they believe in is if we use any of third party stores, they will strip us of our warranty. Let us look at some numbers.

Quality of products
At the end of the end, a good repairing experience depends on how long the replaced part keeps its position. This is totally dependent on the quality of the replaced parts. Enquire your repairing center about the quality of the parts they are going to use in your device.
Warranty Provided
A decent service center always provides few months of warranty to ensure you of their quality service. To make sure that your replaced parts don’t meet any faulty ends, ask for a warranty on the service provided by the repairing center.
Fair Repairing Costs
What is the whole point of choosing a third party repair shop if you don’t get to save your money? Ask for a cost estimate for your phone’s problem before giving in your Samsung device for repair. Ensure that the cost is less than the official repairing cost.
