Have you ever lost a lot of really important data?
A good backup strategy saves a tremendous amount of time, effort and ultimately money spent on data recovery.
This is a failed hard drive with the 'The Click of Death' and disc surface damage.
Like anything that contains moving parts, it will have a lifespan which on average could be as little as four years dependant on use.
The only way to protect important files is backing up regularly before the hard drive fails.
There's no better way to speed up and upgrade a laptop than to replace its mechanical hard drive with an SSD (Solid State Drive - no moving parts)
A SSD launches and runs apps faster, transfers files faster vastly outperforming the tradition spinning hard disc we replaced on this low spec laptop.
We breathed new life into this laptop by fitting an SSD, it now boots in under 30 seconds and runs faster than when it was new.
Taking care of your electronics is a key component to extending their lifespan.
When a laptop cooling system gets this dirty it overheats.
With many electrical componants being suseptible to heat damage, this will shorten the lifespan of the laptop so a overheating laptop will need to be resolved as soon as possible.
Symptoms include fans continuously running loudly, very hot to the touch on the base, system slowdowns and unexpected shutdowns due to overheating.
Every laptop has a internal battery called a CMOS battery with a life expectancy of around 5 years.
The time and date on this laptop kept resetting to 2001 (year of manufacture)
This is the most common CMOS battery failure sign together with security certificate warnings from certain websites.
CMOS battery access varies according to laptop design, usually by removal of an access cover. This laptop required a full stripdown to replace the battery so it got a cooling system cleanup too.
