Rampdog Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 When was the last time you cleaned the dust outa' your puta towers? :(I'm just askin'...) (You lap dogs dissreguard this) If it ain't fun...why do it...? http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=778394&content=music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fumblyfingers Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I checked my MacPro not too long ago and it's okay. My older G4 is being revamped for my daughter to use. My laptop just had a new logic board installed and a new 7200rpm hard drive (battery sucker) so it was cleaned also. I'm in my computers a fair bit changing drives, adding memory etc and I always also clean if it needs. So I am good to go, but yeah man....good advice.

A String Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Great advice! Dust ie. clogged fans and heatsinks, is the number one killer of computers. Keep em' clean and they will last a long time. Just remember to ground yourself before you go in, by touching the chassis. Static, is the number two killer of computers...

Fumblyfingers Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Static, is the number two killer of computers... I always ground myself, but Craig....why is that exactly, I have never fully understood that? I often wonder how a relatively small amount of current from a static arc, can trash a computer that must have components rated for higher current handling....even the chips etc? Especially given that the static is an extremely short duration and the amperage is possibly very low. What specifically gets damaged or destroyed by the static Craig? I am interested to know and too lazy to Google it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am interested to know and too lazy to Google it... Basically the Hard drive and microchips are at risk. I looked up the numbers for you. Here is some basic info from the article I got the numbers from. You can find the full article HERE , which explains in further detail: The internal workings of a computer, and especially the hard drive, are extremely susceptible to static electricity, which can cause considerable damage to the hard drive if it is zapped with even a small amount. Microchip damage can occur if it is exposed to static electricity as low as 10 volts, and humans are not able to perceive static electricity until it has reached about 1,500 volts. Walking across a rug can produce a static electricity voltage of up to 12,000 volts, but static voltage is not life threatening. So it is possible to damage a hard drive with static electricity that is not even felt by the person because it is at such a low voltage. Also, computers become increasingly susceptible to static electricity damage as more and more circuitry is built into them.

Larryz Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 My Lap top is getting hot...hoping it will get better with more air to the fan by putting it on a hard surface...so far it's helping, but may have to take it in...the battery is not getting hot and a little squirt of air also helps... Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
