The one joy of modern technology that we enjoy are the portable electronic devices, i.e. our touch-screen phone, notebooks, net-books, and tablets. We love to take them anywhere and everywhere, as the devices can easily fit in our bags, purses, and pockets due to their awesome portability!

Sometimes (actually more than sometimes) they pay the ultimate price, which leaves us with only two options: Replace the device or give it to a computer repair service in Rockland County, NY to be repaired.

The Reality of Electronic LCD Screens Is That They Are Breakable

Although designed to resist the rigors of daily use, the screens on our mobile and other such devices are actually incredibly fragile. In fact, most net-book and laptop LCDs are less than ¼ inch thick, while screens that are touch sensitive (touch-screens) are even thinner. Cracks are likely to appear on the screen if the device is twisted, poked hard and subjected to enough pressure from the back.

Accidents will happen; no matter how much cautious we are with the devices. Following are some tips that can effectively protect your fragile LCDs from cracking;

Protecting Your Screens

• Carry the phone around by putting it in a sleeve, padded bag, or a hard plastic case as this will protect your phone from breaking even if it falls out of your shirt pocket. Do the same with a laptop and tablet.
• Never place larger, heavier objects in places where it’s easy for them to fall and land on top of the device. More people have broken the LCDs of their phones by sitting on them (while placed in the back pocket).
• Leaving your phone or laptop on the bed when you sleep is a bad idea, as it can fall over anytime during the night. Same is with keeping it on the floor as there’s a chance you or someone else might step on it.
• The correct way to lift a laptop or net-book is from the bottom of the device. Many people make the mistake of lifting the devices by the corner of the screen and end up with screens severed from the keyboard.
• Spills can badly damage screens, therefore always be careful if you are working on a laptop while drinking any liquid, especially hot ones.

These simple tips will help keep your electronic devices safe from harm and able to enjoy a long life. If the inevitable has happened to your mobile or laptop, you can have it repaired by placing the device in the capable hands of Rockland County Computer Repair!
