Good Tips For Getting Maximum Shelf Life For Your NEC PC-VP-BP106 Battery:

Your new laptop battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to your computer manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the battery may require two to three charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity.
When charging laptop battery for the first time your computer may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries. Simply remove the NEC PC-VP-BP106 battery from the computer and repeat the charging procedure.
It is important to condition (fully discharge and then fully charge) laptop battery every two to three weeks. Failure to do so may significantly shorten the battery's life (this does not apply to Li-Ion laptop batteries, which do not require conditioning). To discharge, simply run your device under the battery's power until it shuts down or until you get a low battery warning. Then recharge the battery as instructed in your user's manual.
If laptop battery will not be in use for a month or longer, it is recommended that it be removed from the device and stored in a cool, dry, clean place. It is normal for replacement laptop battery to become warm during charging and discharging.
A charged laptop battery replacement will eventually lose its charge if unused. It may therefore be necessary to recharge the battery after a storage period.

Keep your laptop or desktop PC clean

Discover how to keep your PC free from dust and other dirt in this simple step-by-step guide
The build-up of dust and dirt in your PC does more than simply make it look scruffy. Over time it can affect its reliability and performance too, as the dirt clogs up your airways and fans, your PC runs hotter and components wear out faster and struggle to perform at their best. In this tutorial, we’ll reveal ways of safely cleaning out the dirt to keep your PC running at its best for longer.

1. Assemble your toolkit

Start by putting together the tools you need for cleaning. Start with an anti-microbial cleaning cloth for cleaning the outside of your computer – PC World stocks an ESSENTIALS washable cloth that's sensibly priced. Hard-to-reach areas can be cleaned using a can of compressed air, like this FELLOWES Mini Turbo Air Duster. You may also need a small handheld vacuum cleaner and a small, soft brush that won’t shed its hairs easily – a make-up brush or soft paint brush is ideal.

2. Prepare to clean

Switch off your computer and unplug it from the mains before removing any other cables from the main chassis. Leave it a good 20-30 minutes to cool down, particularly if you plan to open it up to clean the inside. Place it on an accessible, clean surface such as a table.

3. Clean the outside

Use your vacuum cleaner to carefully remove obvious dust from the vents and various ports (USB , network, monitor and so on). Try to avoid spinning the fans in the wrong direction when vacuuming near them to prevent possible damage – for this reason don’t use a can of compressed air. Once complete, use your anti-bacterial cloth to give the PC’s exterior a good clean, removing any additional dust and grime you find. Earbuds are a good cleaning tool for crevices, grills and other small gaps.

4. Clean the keyboard

Don’t forget to clean your laptop’s keyboard – the can of compressed air and soft brush can help dislodge the worst of the dirt that’s fallen down inside it. Cleaning the keys themselves might require a brush with harder bristles to gently scrape off the dirt. If you plan to use a cleaning solution, use isopropyl to moisten a paper towel or damp rag to clean the tops of the keys, and a moistened ear bud to clean between them. Do not pour the solution directly on to the keyboard!

5. Clean other devices

Use the cloth to clean all your cables and peripherals such as printers, removing any obvious dust and grime. Use your soft brush to clean inside any small holes to help dislodge any dirt inside. Look for dedicated cleaning products for certain elements, such as monitor screens.

6. Clean inside your desktop

If you’re a confident user, comfortable with opening up your desktop PC, you can go further and carefully clean its insides too. We strongly recommend you wear an anti-static wristband, which should be clipped to the side of your case after removing the cover.
Start by using your vacuum’s nozzle to remove the worst of the dust inside, but make sure it doesn’t touch any of the components. For a more thorough clean, use short bursts of compressed air (any longer and you might introduce moisture) in conjunction with your soft brush or cloth to shift more stubborn dirt. Advanced users may also wish to take out expansion cards and cables to clean them, but make sure you know exactly where they came from!
Once you’ve finished cleaning your laptop or desktop PC, you should find it runs smoother, quieter and cooler – all without upgrading or repairing it.

Guide to prolonging your laptop battery's charge

Use these tricks and tips to ensure your laptop battery doesn't run down when you're out and about and to increase its lifespan.
One of the great advantages of laptops is their mobility. If you're out and about, in a meeting or in a coffee shop, your laptop can connect you to work and friends. But if your battery dies before you can get to a plug, documents and updates can be lost. Batteries don't last forever and we all know they have a mean-spirited trick of running out when you're in the middle of something vital. So here are some power-saving tips that might just allow you the juice to save that all-important document in time.
It's impossible to predict exactly how long a battery will last but here are some of the factors that affect battery life:

• Ÿ how often you use your wireless network or DVD drive;
• Ÿ your screen brightness;
• Ÿ how many programs are running on your laptop;
• Ÿ if you're using any inbuilt power-saving features;
• Ÿ the age of your battery.

Work through the list of power-saving tips below to make your battery last as long as possible and remember that you can make adjustments when you're away from a wall socket to get you a little more time.
Power saving tips
Brightness
Use your laptop's brightness controls to reduce the brightness to the lowest comfortable setting. Usually this will be a hotkey combination (Fn + F key). Look for a sun or bulb icon.
Sound
Lower the volume to the quietest comfortable level using a hotkey combination (Fn + F key) or separate volume control. Avoid using the DVD drive when your battery is low.
A CD or DVD drive is one of the most power-hungry devices on your laptop, especially when it's writing discs. Try to use your CD/DVD drive only when your laptop is running on mains power.
Minimise the use of external devices
External hard drives, CD/DVD drives and USB sticks all draw power from your laptop's battery. Only plug them in when you need to and disconnect them as soon as you are finished.
Turn off an unused wireless connection
Disable your wireless network card or Bluetooth when not in use. Your laptop will have a hotkey combination or wireless switch for quick access.
Power plans
A power plan is a collection of hardware and system settings that manage how your laptop uses power. These are designed to help you save energy, maximise system performance or strike a balance between the two.
Reduce the number of open programs
Every program running on your laptop uses system resources and therefore draws power from your battery. The fewer programs you have running at the same time, the longer your battery will last.
Extending your battery's lifespan
As batteries get older, they don't seem to have as much energy as they used to - just like the best of us! Even though you've given it a good night's charge, the battery still needs a mid-afternoon nap and any strenuous activities wear it out in no time. While its lack of power may leave you feeling a little flat, there's no need to retire your battery just yet. There are a number of simple ways to extend your battery's lifespan and while they won't return it to the heady days of its youth, they'll at least put a spring back in its step.
Things that can drain your laptop's battery life

1. Batteries wear out a little each time they go through a charge cycle, whether the battery is charged from flat or nearly full. If the battery is used regularly for short periods and then recharged, it will wear out faster. Many users leave their laptop on a desk running on mains power. Doing this, removing the battery and only using it when you go mobile will increase its lifespan.
2. Laptops run on lithium-ion (sometimes called Li-ion) batteries, which gradually lose their performance over time. The decline is very gradual and you may not notice any difference for a long period but when they get near the end of their lives, their performance will very suddenly drop off and your battery will only last for 10 minutes or so. A very short battery life is a sign that it is time to purchase new batteries.
3. Even if you don't use your laptop, the Li-ion battery will slowly discharge over time and will eventually need recharging again. If the battery is left in your laptop, it will discharge quicker as your computer uses a small amount of power from your battery even when it's shut down.

Caring for your battery
Your computer's user guide or manual will have recommendations for battery usage and storage. In addition, you can take the following steps to prevent a short battery life or low capacity:

1. Store Li-Ion batteries between 20°C and 25°C with approximately 50% charge.
2. Do not expose the battery to high temperatures for extended periods. For example, don't leave your laptop/battery in a hot car or next to a radiator.
3. Remove the battery when the computer is going to be stored or not used for more than two weeks.
4. Remove the battery from the computer if it's going to be plugged into mains power continuously for more than two weeks.

If your battery is not charging
If your battery runs completely flat, it may appear that it isn't recharging. Don't be alarmed, as your battery is designed to allow only a 'trickle charge' when charging in this state. It does this to prolong the battery's life and prevent overheating.
Once the battery has charged to a certain level, it will start charging at a normal rate again. You may need to leave your battery charging for up to 12 hours.
Calibrating a battery
Sometimes the computer and battery can get out of sync and your laptop can misread the remaining amount of charge. For example, Windows may display that you have an almost full charge, only to drop down suddenly to almost nothing in a short space of time.
Use one of the following methods to calibrate the battery and you will get a more accurate guide to the life of your battery.
Calibrate the battery while your laptop is in use with Windows 7
A calibration cycle requires that the battery be completely charged and then completely discharged. Here is a step-by-step guide to doing so:

1. Connect the mains adaptor and fully charge the battery.
2. Unplug your mains adaptor.
3. Open the Start menu, type 'power' in the Search Programs and Files panel and press Enter.
4. Choose Power Options from the Control Panel section.
5. Click Create a Power Plan from the left hand menu and click Next.
6. In the On battery column, select 'Never' for the following options:

-Dim the display
-Turn off the display
-Put the computer to sleep

7. Press Create and close the Power Options.
8. Allow the battery to discharge completely until the PC shuts down; this may take some time.
9. Connect your mains adaptor and restart the computer.
10. Return to the Power Options and select your desired power plan.

The battery is now calibrated.
Calibrate your battery when not using your computer
For this you need to completely charge and then discharge your computer's battery. Calibrating your computer this way can take several hours, depending on the age of the battery and your computer's configuration.
Follow the steps below to calibrate the battery power meter readings:

1. Shut down your computer.
2. Connect the mains power adaptor and charge the laptop until the battery is completely charged. (Note: your computer's User Guide will have details on how your battery indicator light shows this.)
3. Restart the computer and start tapping F8 while it boots up.
4. Ensure Safe Mode is highlighted in the Windows Advanced Boot Options menu and press Enter.
5. Unplug your mains power adaptor from your computer.
6. Allow the battery to discharge completely until your computer shuts down.
7. The battery is now calibrated.

Following these steps and choosing the right power plan will help you see there's life in the old battery yet. While it may not have quite the charge it used to, it's still game.

How to Extend Your Laptop’s Battery Life

Still remember the last time the last drop of power of the original battery？ You hate the battery for it almost ruined your most important presentation to your clients. But by following certain  practices, you will change your affections towards your moving energy friend. Here’s how.

The fewer you drain it, the longer the battery last

Usually, laptop batteries are able to handle around 500 full charge cycles, which means, each charge cycle decreases a battery’s capacity from its design specifications.

Your laptops like "new mode"

You can start saving your battery by changing the power settings corner of your laptop.

It would be better, If your laptops offer the function of “eco mode” which may adjusts the way power automatically to conserve battery energy. And, shifting to the Hibernation mode once you leave for a moment is really a good habit for laptop battery life.

Less running app, more energy

To save even more power, take a tour of your apps and quit any that are running in the background and slowly eating into your battery life. No matter your computers are in Windows or macOS , you can what apps are using the most power by resetting the energy section. Both Microsoft and Apple offer you the instruction in video.

Besides, you can also reduce the amount of power by shutting off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth when you’re absent, turning off optional features such as keyboard backlighting.

Half charging for laying up

Though battery life is longer than before, it does not mean that the energy will be always waiting for you for a long time ignorance. So if you have the plan to store your laptop for an time without using it, then charging it to 50 percent before putting it away will be better.

Refurbished Desktop and Laptop Computers

Sometimes offers for desktop and laptop computers seem to be priced too low to be real. In the description of these products you might find the term refurbished. Both manufacturers and retailers may be offering these systems below what a normal PC costs, but what is a refurbished product and are they safe to buy?

Refurbished computers typically fall into one of two categories. The first type have failed a quality control check during manufacturing.

Rather than simply disposing of these systems, the manufacturer will rebuild it to pass quality control but sell it at a discounted price. The other type is a rebuilt system from a customer return likely due to a component failure.

Now the refurbishment of the product may be done by the manufacturer or a third party. Manufacturers rebuild the system using the same parts used in the new PCs. A third party that rebuilds the machine may use alternate parts to get it up and running. These alternate parts may change the system from its original design. This makes it important that the consumer read the specifications of the refurbished system and compare them to the standard specs for the product.

Another type of product that consumers will find discounted is an open box product. These differ from a refurbished product as it has not been rebuilt. It is simply a product that was returned by a customer but it has not been tested.

Consumers should be very careful when purchasing any open box products.

Costs

Cost is the primary reason people purchase refurbished desktops and laptops. They are often priced below the average computer system currently sold. Of course the amount of discount is only really relevant if you happen to be looking at the same exact product.

Most refurbished PCs available will typically be older products that are being compared to the original suggested retail prices for the product when it was first released. As a result, the deals may not always be the best.

When pricing a refurbished computer, it is important to note if the system is still available for sale new. If it is, this makes the price comparison very easy to determine. PCs such as this generally can be found for modest discounts of between 10 and 25% off the retail prices. As long as they have similar warranties to the new products these can be an excellent way to get a system for below retail.

The problem comes from older systems that are no longer sold. Consumers are often tricked into paying for a system that looks like a good deal but is not. This is where the specifications become extremely important. With those in hand, try to find a comparable brand new system. If one is available, then the same cost analysis of 10 to 25% still holds. If a comparable system is not available, then look for an equally priced new system and see what you get. Often times consumers in this case will find that for the same price they can get a better, newer laptop or desktop.

Warranties

The key to any refurbished computer system is the warranty. These are products that typically were returned or rejected due to a defect. While that defect may have been corrected and no further problems may develop you want to make sure that some coverage is included for potential faults. The problem is that warranties are typically modified for refurbished products.

First and foremost, the warranty should be a manufacturer one. If the warranty is not provided by the manufacturer it should raise a red flag for consumers. A manufacturer warranty will guarantee that the system will be repaired to the original specifications with manufacturer parts or certified replacements can be used with the system.

Third party warranties can cause major problems as replacements parts may not be guaranteed and it may take longer for the system to be repaired.

The next thing to look at is the length of the warranty. It should provide the same length as if it was purchased new. If the manufacturer is not offering the same coverage consumers should once again beware. The lower cost of the system may be the result of them not offering to support the product.

Finally, be wary of extended warranties. If an optional warranty is offered for purchase with the system, it should be a manufacturer extended warranty and not one through a third party. Also be wary of the cost for extended warranties. If the cost of the extended warranties makes the system cost more than buying it new, avoid the purchase.

Return Policies

As with any product, you may get the refurbished computer and find that it does not meet your needs or has issues. Because of the nature of refurbished systems, you want to be very careful of the return and exchange policies offered by the seller. Most retailers tend to have more restrictive policies regarding refurbished machines and they may be sold as it which means you have no recourse for returning the product. Because of this, always read them carefully before making a purchase. Manufacturer refurbs often have been options than third party sellers.

Conclusions

Refurbished laptops and desktops are one way consumers can find a good deal, but they have to be much more informed before the purchase.

The key is to ask several key questions to know if it is really a good and safe deal:

Ÿ   Is it sold by the manufacturer or a retailer?

Ÿ   What is the price relative to the same PC new?

Ÿ   Is the system comparable to an equivalent priced new PC?

Ÿ   What type of warranty comes with the PC?

Ÿ   Who will handle warranty work?

Ÿ   Is there the option for a return?

If all of these can be answered satisfactorily, then consumers can generally feel secure in the purchase of a refurbished PC.

How to Know When It’s Time to Replace Your Laptop’s Battery

No matter how well you treat your laptop’s battery, it will eventually die. If you’re lucky, it will be time to replace your laptop by the time its battery dies. If you’re not, you’ll need to replace the battery.

Battery death can seem sudden, but it doesn’t have to. Windows will warn you when your battery reaches extremely low capacity levels, but you can also keep your own tabs on its capacity.

Windows Will Warn You

Windows doesn’t normally keep you up-to-date with your battery’s capacity level. As you use it and it weakens, you’ll just notice that your laptop doesn’t seem to last as long on battery.

Eventually, when your battery reaches a low enough capacity level, Windows will warn you. You’ll see a red X appear on the standard battery icon in your system tray and, when you click it, Windows will inform you that you should “consider replacing your battery.” Windows also says that your computer might shut down suddenly because there’s a problem with your battery — in other words, your battery can’t hold enough of a charge to power your laptop for long when it’s not connected to an outlet.

Note that this warning was added in Windows 7, so you won’t see it if you’re using Windows Vista or XP.

How to Check Your Laptop’s Battery Capacity

If you’re curious just how far your laptop’s battery capacity has declined, you can use a third-party tool to view it. NirSoft’s free BatteryInfoView does this well, displaying the battery’s approximate wear level, the capacity it was designed to have, and the capacity it currently has.

Calibrating Your Battery

The information above may not be completely accurate if your battery requires calibration. For example, we had a battery that reported it was almost dead. Windows warned us that it was time to replace the battery and the battery appeared to be at 27.7% wear level according to its reported capacity.

After we calibrated the battery, Windows stopped warning us and the battery’s reported capacity went back up to 70.8%. The battery didn’t actually gain any additional charge, but the calibration helped the battery’s sensor actually detect how much capacity was in the battery. If Windows says it’s time to replace your battery, be sure to calibrate it first before checking its actual wear level. If you don’t, you may replace a battery that’s still in good enough shape. That would just be a waste of money.

Why Your Laptop’s Battery Capacity Declines

Laptop batteries decline due to a number of factors. Heat, usage, age — all of these things are bad for batteries. Batteries will slowly die no matter what — even if you put your battery in a closet and never touched it, it would slowly lose capacity due to age. However, if you never use your battery — say you use your laptop at your desk most of the time and it gets rather hot, which is bad for the battery — removing the battery can certainly help prolong its life.

Replacing Your Battery

If your laptop has a user-serviceable battery — that is, one you can remove on your own — you can replace your battery fairly easily. If your laptop doesn’t have a user-serviceable battery, you’ll need to contact the laptop’s manufacturer so they can crack your laptop open and change its battery for you.

Assuming you have a user-serviceable battery, you can order a replacement battery for your laptop model online. Don’t just head to eBay and buy the cheapest third-party batteries available — buy official batteries from a reputable company. Aftermarket batteries are often built on the cheap, with cut corners and insufficient testing. They can be dangerous — a cheap, counterfeit, and improperly designed battery could literally go up in flames.

How to Increase Your Windows Laptop’s Battery Life

We often fixate on smartphone battery life, but most laptops still don’t have all-day battery life. Rather than tethering your laptop to an outlet, here are some ways to squeeze more life from your laptop’s battery.

None of these tricks will turn a laptop without much stamina into an all-day workhorse, but they’ll help you go without an outlet for a while longer. Pay particular attention to your laptop’s display—that’s a big battery sucker.

Use Windows 10’s Battery Saver Mode

If you want to extend your battery life without thinking too much about it, enable Windows 10’s Battery Saver mode. Windows automatically enables this feature when you’re down to 20% battery by default, but you can manually enable it whenever you like. So, if you know you’ll be away from an outlet for a while, you might enable it at the start of a long day.

Battery saver performs a few tweaks automatically, like limiting background activity and lowering screen brightness to achieve longer battery life.

To enable Battery Saver mode, click the battery icon in your notification area and drag the Power mode slider to the “Best battery life” point on the left.

Reduce Your Display’s Brightness

The biggest battery drain on any modern portable electronic device—whether it’s a laptop, smartphone, or tablet—is the display. Reducing your screen’s brightness is a simple way to squeeze significantly more time from your laptop’s battery.

On a typical laptop, you’ll just need to press the brightness buttons on your laptop keyboard (on some laptops, you may need to hold the Function (Fn) key while pressing the brightness buttons). The lower the brightness level, the longer you can use your laptop on battery power.

On Windows 10, you can also open the Action Center by clicking the notification icon on your taskbar and click the brightness icon to adjust brightness (click “Expand” if you can’t see it). You can also head to Settings > System > Display and adjust the slider here

Check Which Applications Are Using the Most Battery on Windows 10

Windows 10 allows you to see which applications are draining your battery the most. It does this by tracking CPU usage over time, then listing which programs are using the most power. This feature isn’t available in Windows 7.

To access this list, head to Settings > System > Battery > Battery Usage By App. This screen will show you which applications are using the most battery. This doesn’t necessarily mean the application is bad—the applications you use the most will probably have used the most battery power, of course. But you may want to consider switching to more power-friendly applications if something is unusually heavy, or close background applications that seem to use a lot of power even when you’re not actively using them.

Turn Off Your Screen and Go to Sleep Sooner

Since the display uses so much power, it’s important not to have it on longer than necessary. You can configure your laptop to automatically go to sleep sooner when you’re not actively using it—or at least turn off its display to save power.

This won’t help your battery life if you’re actively using the laptop the whole time, or always put it to sleep immediately when you’re done, but it can ensure your laptop doesn’t waste power by running for too long when you step away.

Disable Bluetooth and Other Hardware Devices

Hardware devices you don’t use can also waste battery power for no good reason. For example, if you never use any Bluetooth accessories with your laptop, you can turn off the Bluetooth hardware radio to eke out some more battery life. (f you do use Bluetooth accessories regularly, toggling Bluetooth on and off may not be worth the trouble, as the Bluetooth hardware in modern laptops is more power efficient than it once was.)

Tweak Your Power Plan

On Windows 7, you can save energy by selecting the “Power saver” Power Plan from Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options. This isn’t necessary on Windows 10, as you can just use Battery saver mode instead.

You can change a variety of settings from the Power Options window that appears, including configuring your laptop to power off its hard drive more quickly and telling your computer to slow down the processor rather than turning on the fan if it becomes hot. Both of these behaviors will save power. The default settings should be fairly optimal if you select Power saver mode, but you can make the settings even more aggressive in some areas, if you like.

Run the Windows Power Troubleshooter

Windows 7, 8, and 10 include a power troubleshooting tool that will scan your system for common battery drains and automatically fix them. For example, this tool will automatically decrease the time before the display dims if it’s too long, or disable the unnecessary screensaver feature if it’s enabled.

Lighten Your Software Load

To save power, make your computer do less in general. For example:

Ÿ   Don’t use a screensaver. They’re unnecessary on modern displays and will drain your battery to do nothing useful when your display could be off and saving power.

Ÿ   Run fewer programs in the background. Examine your system tray for programs you don’t need and uninstall them or disable them and prevent them from automatically starting with your computer.

Ÿ   Reduce CPU usage. If you use heavy programs that have your CPU doing a lot of work all of the time, your CPU will use more power and your battery will drain faster. Running fewer programs in the background can help with this, as can selecting lightweight programs that are easy on system resources.

Ÿ   Avoid maxing out your RAM. If your computer fills its RAM and needs more memory, it will move data to the page file on its hard drive or SSD, and this can drain battery power. This shouldn’t be as much of a problem on modern computers with a decent amount of RAM. If your laptop’s RAM is full, try to make more RAM available—close programs running in the background or even upgrade your laptop’s RAM.

The less your computer has to do, the more power it can save. You can find more information about CPU and RAM usage in your Task Manager.

Take Care of Your Laptop Battery

All batteries lose capacity over time, so your laptop’s battery life will decline no matter what you do. But there are ways to keep your battery as healthy as possible.

For example, don’t always run your laptop down to 0% battery—try to charge it before that. Over the long run, keeping your laptop battery cool will also prevent unnecessary wear and tear caused by heat. Heat is a battery’s biggest enemy.

Tips and Q&A to Clean A Laptop Screen

Laptop screens tend to collect dust, food particles and other debris that starts to look unattractive after a while. It's important to use very gentle supplies to clean your laptop screen, since the LCD surface is easily damaged. Here are attached tips and Q&A for your reference.

Tips

Tissues, napkins, and other paper products will leave flakes of paper on your monitor. It's better to not even try using them. They can contain wood fibers and may even scratch polished surfaces. You don't want mineral spots on your screen, so don't use tap water. If you're a photographer, you can use your lint-free lens wipes instead of a soft cotton cloth. If you have lens cleaner for eyeglasses, check the back to see if it contains "Isopropanol", if it does don't use it on your LCD monitor. Use a cotton swab for the harder to reach places with the cleaning solution on it. If you apply too much of the solution and it is drippy or too damp, wipe it off with a soft cloth and apply less. Clean and then let it soak for a little and then repeat. Be patient with hard to clean spots. If in doubt, test a small area of screen first.

Community Q&A

1.How can I clean a laptop keyboard?

Try using the sticky side of a sticky note in between the keys to pick up dirt and dust.

2.Are there similar types of cloth I can use instead of microfiber?

Anything made of cotton is gentle enough to use on a laptop screen, but you should avoid using paper towels or facial tissue, which are too abrasive for this type of cleaning.

3.Where can I buy a microfiber cloth?

Most supermarkets have them, as well as office supply stores.

4.Can I use cotton for cleaning a laptop screen rather than microfiber?

Yes, as long as it is a gentle, soft kind, like t-shirt material.

5.Can Lysol wipes be used to clean a laptop screen?

No, it is too harsh. Use only water and white vinegar solution with a microfiber or soft cotton cloth, like an old t-shirt.

6.Can you use Clorox wipes or baby wipes to clean your laptop screen?

No. If you have eyeglasses cleaner, I suggest using some of that. Don't spray it directly on the screen or it could get into your laptop.

7.How can I get better at not being distracted when I work on my homework?

Get all the distractions out of the room and take breaks every once in a while.

8.What is the best way to clean a flat screen TV with fingerprints on it?

Take some dryer sheets and wipe across the TV lightly, if there's dust. Then take a microfiber cloth and clean it like you would a computer screen.

9.What should I do if my screen is foggy due to cleaning solution?

I used distilled vinegar and water with a microfiber cloth for mine. It worked well for me.

Boost your laptop’s battery

If your laptop seems to run out of juice far too quickly, try these nine power-stretching tips to help make the battery last longer

Battery technology has improved considerably over the last few years, but few laptops can still last a full working day between recharges.

There are some steps you can take to stretch out battery life for as long as possible when you’re away from a power socket, and while this list of tips won’t have a dramatic effect, they will still make a noticeable difference.

Check out the video above to find out more.

Tip 1: Reduce the screen brightness

The bright lights behind a laptop screen are one of the biggest power drains, so keep the brightness low when running on battery alone.

Laptops have keyboard shortcuts to adjust screen brightness, usually accessed by pressing the Fn key, so learn them and use them.

Tip 2: Reduce the screen time-out

Set the screen to turn itself off after one minute or so of inactivity. In Windows 7 and Windows 8, search for Power options from the Start menu or Start screen, then select Choose when to turn off the display in the dialog box that opens. Go to On battery - Turn off the display and select 1 minute or 2 minutes.

Tip 3: Set the standby time

Leaving a laptop running when it isn’t being used also wastes battery power, so set it to go to sleep after a short period of inactivity - it will wake up as soon as you press a key. In the same Power options dialog box opened in Tip 2, change the Put the computer sleep option to around five minutes - anything shorter risks the laptop sleeping while you’re trying to use it.

Tip 4: Turn off wi-fi and Bluetooth

Unless you’re connected to a wireless network when you’re out and about, turn off your laptop’s wi-fi wireless network connection - it’s another power waster.

There may be a keyboard shortcut for this, or you can right-click the wi-fi icon in the Windows Notification Area at the bottom left of the screen (switch to Desktop mode in Windows 8 for this) and select Open Network and Sharing Center.

When the dialog box opens, click Change adapter settings on the left, then right-click the icon for Wireless Network Connection and select Disable.

You can disable Bluetooth in the same way — and reverse these steps to re-enable wireless connectivity.

Tip 5: Close unused applications

Just because Windows can run several applications at the same time doesn’t mean you should. Keeping several applications open at once places an extra burden on the laptop’s processor and uses up valuable memory.

Windows will start to use hard disk space as ‘virtual’ memory when the laptop’s actual memory is full, and this too uses extra power. Close any applications and web browser tabs that aren’t being used, and consider a memory upgrade if your laptop only has 2GB RAM - this will make it feel a bit faster, too.

Find out how much RAM your computer has by heading to Control Panel –System and Security – View amount of RAM and processor speed.

Tip 6: Keep cool

Laptops usually have no problem keeping cool when they’re working hard, but having fans spinning to suck fresh air through the case take their toll on battery life. So always ensure your laptop is well ventilated when running on battery power and that any vents on its sides and underside aren’t obstructed.

Keeping these vents free from accumulated dust also helps ensure the laptop’s cooling system runs efficiently, which in turn improves battery life.

Tip 7: Unplug peripherals

It goes without saying that not using an unplugged laptop’s built-in CD or DVD drive when running on battery power will extend battery life, but so will unplugging any other peripherals.

Anything plugged into a USB port, for example, uses a small amount of power, so use the trackpad when you’re on the move rather than plugging in a mouse. Disconnect USB flash drives as soon as you’ve finished using them, too.

Tip 8: Carry the mains adapter with you

One sure-fire way to make your laptop last longer when you’re away from home or work is to plug it into a power socket. It’s surprising how many businesses will let you do this if you ask, and some trains and planes also have mains sockets just for this purpose.

This does mean carrying the power adapter with you when you go out, but the bit of extra weight could be well worth it if you’re likely to be away for longer than your battery might last.

Tip 9: Check your battery’s age

Finally, if your laptop battery doesn’t seem to last as long as it used to, it could be that it’s nearing the end of its life. All rechargeable batteries have a finite lifespan and this is reduced each time it’s recharged.

If your laptop is more than a couple of years old and you frequently use it away from mains power, then the battery could be on the way out as the constant recharges and drains take their toll. A new replacement will work wonder.

6 Tips to Save Your Laptop's Battery From Dying

We’ve all been there: Typing away furiously on our laptop, only to find our battery is quickly approaching zero and there’s not an outlet in sight. In order to resolve an immediate crisis of rapid battery drainage, there are a few things you can do to buy yourself some time before you need to reach for a charger:

1. Close any unnecessary applications or programs running in the background. Stopping your laptop from multitasking will help conserve battery.

2. Lower your screen brightness. Keeping your screen too bright is a huge drain on your batteries.

3. If you’re listening to music, cut it out. Your laptop speakers aren’t very power-efficient at all.

4. Turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth if you don’t need them. They can both drain your battery even if you’re not connected to anything.

5. Turn on your laptop’s power-saving modes. On Windows machines, click the battery icon in the Windows taskbar, then toggle your battery settings from “Balanced” to “Power Saver.” On a MacBook, you can access the Energy Saver settings by clicking the battery icon in your top toolbar or via System Preferences -> Energy Saver.

6. Keep your battery healthy. Don’t expose it to extreme temperatures, make sure to leave your laptop out of its case while charging, and only charge your laptop when it has as close to 0% power left as possible.

Extend laptop battery life

Ah, the laptop computer — the ultimate platform for digital enjoyment. Laptops enable you to connect, play and work wherever and whenever you want. But if you lose battery power and can't plug in on the go, your laptop is no better than an oversized coaster.

Laptop technologies have really come a long way.

With advances in processor architecture and mobile-optimized technologies and software, you can experience a near-desktop experience for playing games, listening to and downloading music, and surfing the Internet — all without being leashed to the nearest outlet.

OK, you've come a long way. Now come just a little further.

But even with these built-in, mobile-optimized technologies, you may still have to plug in before you’re ready. To squeeze every last drop of power out of your laptop battery, follow these tips and tricks and you'll stay mobile longer:

1. Charge the battery! Consider keeping it plugged in for 12 hours before you unplug.

Tip! Over time, you may find that you have to recharge your battery more often to get the expected level of performance. If that's the case, it's time to replace your battery. Look for lithium ion (Li-Ion) replacement batteries for the greatest longevity.

2. Switch on the optimized battery or power feature. You'll find this option — sometimes referred to as max battery mode — in your laptop system's built-in power management control panel. You can select the option to reduce the amount of time your inactive laptop stays on before powering itself down and going to sleep.

Tip! Turning off power-draining facilities like backlights can preserve quite a bit of battery life.

3. Check to see if your laptop has the optimum amount of RAM. You can do this by right mouse clicking on My Computer. The amount of RAM you have will appear under your System Information. RAM enables your system to run program instructions using the computer's memory instead of its hard disk drive (HDD), where it stores data. Refreshing the RAM requires less power than spinning the hard drive, so having the correct amount of RAM means less drain on your laptop battery.

Tip! Consider 2 GB or more RAM for the best performance!

4. Remove the battery and clean the metal contacts. Wipe them with alcohol, ideally every two months, to ensure that the power transfer between the laptop and its battery is as efficient as possible. Allow the battery to dry thoroughly before replacing it!

5. Unplug any laptop accessories you aren't using. Even if they're not in use, accessories drain power from the battery.

Tips!

Ÿ   Turn your wireless local area network (WLAN) switch off if you don't need a wireless connection — a button or LED on your laptop usually lights up to indicate wireless activities.

Ÿ   Use your laptop in the best possible lighting conditions. In brighter conditions, you won't need to set your laptop screen to maximize brightness so you can save additional battery life.

6. Defragment the hard drive so your system operates as efficiently as possible. The built-in defragmenting utility included with Windows®*-based operating systems decreases the time your system must spend searching for files by rearranging file fragments, so they are closer together on the hard drive. Less time searching means less spinning for the hard drive and less use of battery power.

Tip! Defragment your hard drive at least every two months!

Follow these battery-saving tips and tricks and you'll be well on your way to staying unleashed longer!

Stop Trying to Clean Your Infected Computer! Just Nuke it and Reinstall Windows

Some people spend hours — maybe even days — trying to clean an infected Windows system and ensuring it’s actually clean and safe afterward. It’s usually not a good idea to do this — just reinstall Windows and start over.

This may seem like a daunting task, especially if you don’t have good backups of your important files. But it’s worth it to quickly obliterate an infection and ensure your system is safe.

If One Piece of Malware Slips By, Your Computer is Compromised

The key to securing your computer is ensuring it doesn’t get infected in the first place. That’s why people run antivirus applications that can check programs before they run, ideally preventing a piece of malware from running even once. If malicious software makes it through this protection, it has free rein over your system until it’s discovered and removed.

This is a problem for many different reasons. The malware can take this chance to burrow deeper into your system, hiding itself from being discovered by installing a rootkit that starts up during the boot process. It can infect various system files. It can use its access to transmit your personal data, credit card numbers, and passwords over the Internet.

Worse yet, malware can function as a Trojan horse, opening the floodgates to additional malware that it will download and install from the Internet. If you find your computer is actually infected by a piece of malware, you don’t know if that’s the only piece of malware that’s infected your computer.

Antivirus Utilities Aren’t Perfect, and Can Take Time

Antivirus utilities aren’t perfect. To really clean up a system, you’ll want to run an antivirus boot disc to scan your Windows system for malware and try to remove it all — or at least reboot into safe mode. This scan process takes some time, and it isn’t guaranteed to be 100 percent successful. If your system is infected and the anti-malware software found and removed an infection — or, even more worryingly, multiple infections — there’s no guarantee your system is completely safe.

To mitigate this problem, you might want to run multiple different antivirus programs, scanning your system with those multiple engines to get a second, third, and maybe even fourth opinions. This takes more and more time, and you’ll never be 100 percent sure everything is gone, and your system is completely secure.

Fix Any Infection By Reinstalling Windows

Reinstalling Windows is the solution. If a computer is seriously infected — not just by a shady Ask toolbar or the browser cookies many silly security programs consider a “threat,” but by actual malware — we recommend starting over from a fresh Windows system. To do this, you just need to use your manufacturers’ recovery partition to restore your Windows system, reinstall Windows from disc or USB drive, or use the Refresh your PC feature found in Windows 8 or 10.

When you reinstall Windows, your system files will be wiped and they’ll be replaced with known-good ones from the Windows installation disc. You’ll also have to install your programs again, which will ensure they’re safe, too. This takes a bit of time, but perhaps not as much as you’d think — especially if you have good backups. It can also save time over long, arduous slog of cleaning an infected PC and triple-checking it.

Ensure you have backups of your important files before doing this! Some methods of reinstalling Windows won’t wipe your personal files, but it’s always good to be safe.

How to Quickly Back Up Your Important Files

If you keep good backups, you’re good to go. If not, you’ll want to back up your important files first. You probably shouldn’t do this while the infected system is running. Instead, we recommend booting from a Linux live CD or USB drive and using that clean system to copy your important data files to a USB drive. Believe it or not, you can also back up your files directly from a Windows installer disc if you have one lying around!

You’ll then have a backup, and you can copy the files from your backup to your fresh Windows system after reinstalling Windows.

Ensure Your Backups Are Secure

You’ll want to ensure all your backups are clean and uninfected, of course. Generally, the files to watch out for are the .exe files and other executable programs. These can be infected by viruses and infect your system later. Microsoft Office files could also potentially have malicious macros inserted into them, but modern versions of Office are more resistant to this. Other data files like images, videos, and music generally can’t be infected.

It’s a good idea to eye and .exe files with suspicion if they came from an infected computer. Re-download them if possible to ensure they’re safe. You’ll also want to run a scan of your backup files with an anti-malware program after getting a fresh system, ensuring nothing nasty is hiding in your backups somewhere.

This may sound like a Herculean task for people who don’t keep good backups and are worried about setting up their computers from scratch. But, if you do anything sensitive with your computer, from online banking and shopping to filing taxes with your social security number, it’s better to be safe than sorry. You won’t be worrying whether your computer is still infected in a week or two.

How to Increase Your Windows Laptop’s Battery Life

We often fixate on smartphone battery life, but most laptops still don’t have all-day battery life. Rather than always using your laptop tethered to an outlet, here are some ways to squeeze more life from your laptop’s battery.

None of these tricks will turn a laptop without much stamina into an all-day workhorse, but they’ll help you go without an outlet for a while longer. Pay particular attention to your laptop’s display — that’s the big battery sucker.

Reduce Screen Brightness

The biggest battery drain on any modern portable electronic device — whether it’s a laptop, smartphone, or tablet — is the display. Reducing your screen’s brightness is a simple way to squeeze significantly more time from your laptop’s battery.

On a typical laptop, you generally hold the Function (Fn) key and press the brightness buttons on your laptop keyboard. The lower the brightness level, the longer you can use your laptop on battery power.

You can also use the Windows Mobility Center to quickly adjust screen brightness. Open it by pressing Windows Key + X on Windows 7. On Windows 8, you can launch it from the Control Panel — Windows Key + X opens the power user menu instead.

Have Your Display Automatically Turn Off

If you step away from your laptop for a few minutes, its screen will still be on, draining power. You can set more aggressive display power settings to have the laptop dim and turn off the display when you’re not using it.

Open the Power Options dialog in the Control Panel and set your display to dim and turn off after a short period of time. You can move your mouse or press any key to turn the display right back on with no delay, so this is an easy way to save power — as long as the display doesn’t turn off while you’re using the laptop, this shouldn’t bother you too much. Media players set the display to automatically stay on while they’re running, ensuring you can still watch a video without constantly having to move your mouse or change your power settings.

Disable Bluetooth and Other Hardware Devices

Your laptop likely has a Bluetooth radio and may even have an infrared (IR) port. All of these devices use battery power simply by being enabled and powered on. You can save battery power by disabling them when you aren’t using them. To disable Bluetooth, you can often press the Function (Fn) key and press the key with the Bluetooth symbol on your laptop.

Disabling Wi-Fi can also help if you aren’t using it. For example, if you’re using your laptop on an airplane and not taking advantage of in-flight Wi-Fi, turn off your laptop’s Wi-Fi to save some power. Wi-Fi can be turned off in a similar way using the function keys on your laptop or even by disabling the Wi-Fi adapter in the Control Panel’s network connections window.

Tweak Your Power Plan

Windows offers power plans that can quickly change your laptop’s power settings to different profiles. For example, you can have your computer in Balanced mode most of the time and switch to Power saver mode when you need every bit of power you can get. Each power plan’s settings can be modified individually. You’ll find power plans in the Control Panel’s Power Options window.

To modify advanced power options, click the Change plan settings link and select Change advanced power settings.

You can change a variety of settings here, including setting your laptop to power off its hard drive more quickly and telling your computer to slow down the processor rather than turning on the fan if it becomes hot. Both of these behaviors will save power. The default settings should be fairly optimal if you select Power saver mode, but you can make the settings even more aggressive in some areas.

Use the Windows Power Troubleshooter

Windows 7 and 8 include a power troubleshooting tool that will scan your system for common battery drains and automatically fix them. To load this tool, open the Troubleshooting pane in the Control Panel — perform a search for Troubleshooting to find it.

Select the View All option in the Troubleshooting pane and launch the Power troubleshooter.

Windows will look for common issues and automatically fix them. This is a quick way to check if a laptop’s settings are optimal without digging through many different options dialogs.

Slim Down Startup Programs, Use Lighter Software

To save power, make your computer do less in general:

l Don’t use a screensaver. They’re unnecessary on modern displays and will drain your battery to do nothing useful when your display could be off and saving power.

l Run fewer programs in the background. Examine your system tray for programs you don’t need and uninstall them or disable them and prevent them from automatically starting with your computer.

l Reduce CPU usage. If you use heavy programs that have your CPU doing a lot of work all of the time, your CPU will use more power and your battery will drain faster. Running fewer programs in the background can help with this, as can selecting lightweight programs that are easy on system resources.

l Avoid maxing out your RAM. If your computer fills its RAM and needs more memory, it will move data to the page file on its hard drive, and this extra hard drive usage can drain battery. This shouldn’t be a problem on modern computers with a decent amount of RAM. If your laptop’s RAM is full, try to make more RAM available — close programs running in the background or even upgrade your laptop’s RAM.

The less your computer has to do, the more power it can save. You can find more information about CPU and RAM usage in your Task Manager.

Hibernate Instead of Sleep

When your laptop goes to sleep, it uses a small amount of power to power its RAM and keep its system state loaded in memory, allowing it to wake up and resume in just a few seconds. When your laptop hibernates, it saves its system state to disk and powers off, using almost no power.

If you’re not going to be using your laptop for a few hours, place it into hibernate mode rather than sleep mode to conserve even more battery power. Sleep mode doesn’t use a lot of battery power, but hibernate uses as much as having the computer powered off.

If you’ve had your laptop for a while and the battery is holding less power than it used to — but you’re not ready to upgrade to a new laptop just yet — you can try replacing your laptop’s battery with a new one for even longer battery life.
