Maintenance

Maintenance is a set of activities that are required to perform periodically to maintain optimal PC performance and to detect any sign of failure or damage components.

T y p e s  O f   M a i n t e n a n c e

Preventive
Made before a failure occurs or failure, in order to keep working and to reduce the chances of occurrence of failures.


Corrective
It then performs a fault or system fault occurs. Presents repair and replacement costs not budgeted.

Predictive
Is to determine at all times (mechanical and electrical) actual technical condition of the examined machine while it is in full operation. This use of a systematic program of measurements of the most important parameters of the equipment is done.

How to Perform Preventive Maintenance Of The Pc'S

Maintenance the CPU

Step 1 - Disconnect the cables from the PC.

Step 2 - Unscrew the PC.

Step 3 - Remove the PC cover.

Step 4 - Remove dust inside its environmental, corrosion of internal components, oxygen from the air, which inevitably generates oxidation processes.
Important: DO NOT USE ANY FLAMMABLE LIQUID.

Cleaning the Monitor

It can inject air grilles without opening it, because it retains the residual power after shutdown makes it dangerous. This should uncover only if you need repair.

Cleaning the keyboard

Flip it upside down and injects air between the keys to remove dust and foreign bodies. No need to remove the tops of the keys on the PC to wash his replacement generates enough mechanical failure (can be cleaned by passing between them a tissue moistened with liquid soap).

Cleaning the mouse

The standard mouse (bullet) is a collector element dust and dirt. The ball continually dragging dust and small surface which moves particles and accumulates on the rollers inside, altering its coefficient of friction. This causes the mouse does not respond to gentle movements, "staying stuck" or running "leapfrog".

Cleaning the Printer

The dot matrix printers require more care (due to its higher percentage of mechanical work generated friction, heat and dust). To these you must open them to blow inside because they collect a lot of dust and paper particles.

For printers inkjet or bubble, maintenance is simple, limited to, keep lubricated shaft support where the ink cartridge slides

Cleaning The Exterior Surface PCs and Peripherals

We recommend using a cloth moistened with liquid soap (since computer equipment usually by environmental dust and contact with hands soiled operators). Solvents or alcohol are not recommended for cleaning decks, enclosures or cabinets of computers and peripherals for its abrasive action and solvent.

IN SUMMARY....SOME BASIC RULES

The proper functioning of the computer depends on:

• Organization
• Antivirus
• Cleaning
• Install only the software required.
• Install one antivirus, but updated once a week, minimum.
• Install a firewall program. It is especially recommended if you have a permanent connection and / or broadband internet.
