About the most frequent laptop breakdowns

Computer repair technicians are often asked about the most common laptop breakdowns. This is not surprising, because who else should know about all the malfunctions of the mobile “smart guy”. So the repairmen of fragile devices have made a kind of rating of the most popular laptop breakdowns.

In the first place (about 40%) breakdowns resulting from flooding the laptop with any liquid: coffee, tea, juice, beer, etc. Most often, the “blow” falls on the keyboard, so you should not put glasses and mugs filled with liquid next to a fragile device. One awkward movement will cause significant damage to your pet. You can convince yourself and others that you are very careful, but, believe me, none of us is immune from oversights.

In the ranking of the most common laptop malfunctions, the second place is given to keyboard breakdowns. Often, keyboards are missing some keys, because laptop owners hit the keys as if they were typing on an antediluvian typewriter. Unfortunately, they forget that a mobile computer is a device that needs to be handled carefully. Remember, dear laptop owners, that their keys are more fragile and softer than the keys on keyboards from stationary computers. Considering this, you will save both money and your precious time.

Closing the top three of the most frequent breakdowns of laptops is the breakdown of the power supply. Manufacturers of power supplies and mobile computers should take responsibility for this malfunction, because these same power supplies fail due to their fault. It is extremely rare that the fault lies entirely with the user.

The damaged matrix is ​​catching up with the three leaders of the most frequent breakdowns of mobile devices, and it is disabled for completely different reasons. It is as expensive to “treat” a laptop matrix as it is to repair a motherboard (repair of the most difficult category). This fact is explained by the high cost of the laptop matrix.

The ranking of the most popular laptop malfunctions ends, but the malfunctions do not end there. People with “ailing” mobile computers go to repair shops in single file, and these “ailments” are in:
• failure of laptop memory modules;
• problems with the hard drive;
• damage or burnout of USB ports as a result of careless handling of the “machine”;
• flooding the motherboard;
• overheating and burning of the video card;
• battery failure;
• overheating of the laptop due to dusty cooling system.

Not all breakdowns encountered by most laptop users are listed. The rest of the faults are less popular, so we will not focus on them.

We add that laptops break down mainly due to the fault of users (80%), while the rest is due to the dishonesty of manufacturers (20%). To keep your “smart car” from breaking down, you need to use it correctly, so follow these guidelines:

1. Do not place containers with liquid near the mobile device. Inadvertently tipped over “moisture” can ruin your favorite laptop.

2. “Hit” the keys gently so that you do not have to replace the laptop keyboard. This is not a replacement for your desktop PC keyboard! Fixing the keyboard of a mobile device requires time and money.

3. Store the laptop out of reach of children and pets, otherwise your “toy” will end.

4. When connecting external devices to the ports of the laptop, do not rush, do not make sudden movements in order to avoid mechanical damage. For breakdowns of this kind, laptop repairmen take a decent amount.

5. Do not put any objects on the laptop cover, do not cover the device with newspapers and papers to avoid mechanical damage.

6. Be sure to clean your laptop once a year or more – it will work for the highest score.
