This is because the disc is still spinning to work, the hard drive is not in the correct position and the hard drive pointer’s eye is still above the disc which is not on the center position like it has to.
This position will scratch the disk hard drive and can result in damage, bad sector, and lost data. However, this does not apply to Noteboook using SSD storage.

How to save the notebook may be a trivial and rather neglected by some people. Keep your notebook in place that is not damp and try to save it in a bag to prevent your notebook case beret. Do not forget, put
the notebook on a flat place. Do not pile stuff on top of your notebook when not in use. Heap object will hit the notebook LCD screens and cause damage to the LCD screen and the worst cracked.
Also, avoid the notebook from direct sunlight. This will make your notebook’s heat and will result in a few external components are made of rubber would harden and make your case to fade the color.
3. How to Use
This depends on the type of notebook. For netbooks, try to use does not deviate. Netbook created to run the application under such office applications, browsing activities, multimedia (music, non-HD movies,
light photo editing, etc.), as well as several other applications that do not demand high performance. Customize your applications with performance that can be provided by the notebook. Don’t install too
many unnecessary applications that are not important. As more applications are installed, the slower the performance of your notebook. This is because the capacity used by the bigger hard disk so the operating system more difficult to read.
4. How to Upgrade
Most elements easily be upgraded just the hard drive and memory. Actually, you can upgrade your optical drive and processor but it is only valid on some notebooks.
Memory upgrade alone will make the performance of notebooks become more baertenaga and applications will be open sooner. One thing to remember is when doing a memory upgrade, you also have to customize to
your particular operating system. 32bit operating system will only be able to read the memory up to 3GB. 64bit operating systems can read more than 3GB of memory.
Hard drive. Normally users will upgrade this component because of the need for large capacity. When ino, rotational speed hard disk is divided into two types of rounds, 5400RPM (Rotation Per Minute) and 7200RPM. However, the hard disk with 7200RPM rotational speed is very difficult to find in Indonesia. The advantages of using hard disks with high rotation is the operating system and your application will be more responsive when you call. You actually can just glance at the longer SSDs are getting cheaper. However, the weakness of the
available capacity of the SSD is still small so it is more suitable for you who are very mobile. With SSD, the possibility of damage to data storage and data loss is very small.
5. How to Clean
Cleaning the notebook LCD screen is very important. The LCD screen is dirty with stains and stamped hands is not comfortable viewing. To clean the casing you only need a piece of soft cloth. For stains that are difficult to clean can be tricked by using a soft cloth. Fabrics were made in moist conditions and then rubbed. After that, clean the surface of the casing with a dry cloth. On the keyboard usually are often found in dust. For this section, just use the blower and brush.

7. How to Maintain Batteries
Very often we found to the problem of misunderstanding about the battery. It’s recommend that you always clean the contacts made of brass found in batteries and notebook using a cotton bud and contact
cleaner.
8. How to Choose A Laptop Case
Choosing the right laptop case is surprisingly difficult. How disappointing it is when you find what you think is the perfect laptop case, just to get it home and realize it doesn’t hold all of your necessities such as: charging cable, mouse, CD case and other essential items. Here’s what should you do:
• Don’t pick a case just for its color or style. Make a list of the items you regularly bring and need to fit in your new laptop case and make sure that the case you choose has enough pockets and slots to hold them.
• Know the exact size of your laptop. Big or small, wide screen or not, just because you know the size of your screen, doesn’t mean you know the dimensions of your laptop. Take a minute before you leave for
the store to take a tape measure and find out the length, width and height of your entire laptop. I have a 15.4″ screen laptop but you will notice that this measure doesn’t translate when finding its dimensions. My laptop dimensions for length from side to side is 14″, width from front to back is 10″ and height from bottom to top closed is 1 ½”. However, some laptop cases are specifically designed for screen size, but I recommend knowing these dimensions as well.
• Next, consider if you’ll need a hard case, bag or backpack. A hard case is practical for those who maybe a little rough with their stuff. This kind of case will help prevent anything from puncturing into it and damaging your laptop. A bag is practical for those who need a professional appearance and don’t intend on being excessively rough with it. A backpack is functional for those quickly on the go, which might have much more to carry like books, clothes, or have lots of computer gadgets that wouldn’t fit into a bag.
• If you plan on traveling by plane regularly with your new case, make sure you can pass it through security. There are cases specifically designed for travelers, so keep an eye out for those.
• Weight. If your laptop already has a little of weight to it, adding the weight of your new bag and all the additional things you’ll be putting inside it, may become uncomfortable. Make sure that the bag is easy and comfortable to hold, because if it isn’t, it won’t once the laptop is inside either.
• You want to treat your laptop while it’s in its case, just as if it were outside the case. Just because it has a protective layer of material and padding, doesn’t mean it will not get damaged. Also know that your case isn’t waterproof and although some may come with a waterproofing agent, it doesn’t mean you should be careless with your drinks, nor should you drop it.
