Question Posted Thursday December 17 2009, 1:24 pm
Iv'e got a Dell labtop and it's been broken for a while now i can't describe how it's broken because it's complicated but some wires are exposed and i'm scared that the labtop will catch
on fire is there anything i can do to prevent it from going on fire? I'm really unsure of what do
My questions are:
Is it dangerous that the wires are exposed?
Should i wrap the wires with electrical tape?
The warranty for the labtop has expired and it can't be fixed so i can't call Dell and tell them
-Don't have the laptop plugged in when the battery is full, this both weakens the battery and makes it over heat.
-Don't leave the laptop on flammable surfaces when it's plugged in.
-About once a month, let the power fully drain out and then fully charge the laptop, without using it. This is helps the battery stay "healthy" [ the_unexpected's advice column | Ask the_unexpected A Question ]
