Summer Safety Tips for Your Computer

Summer Tips 2017 by Fixingfox

computer repair rochester ny

Summer is here and it is going to be hot and sweaty under the summer sun here in Pittsford, NY. Luckily, this year the technicians here at Fixingfox have put together a quick tips to be proactive and avoid keeping your computer at risk during the summer.

1. Don’t Leave Your Computer in Hot Locations

Contact Fixingfox if you suspect your computer not working properly.  Tel: (585) 473-7035

Your computer has many sensors, delicate parts such as your processor, motherboard, and they all need to be kept at relatively cool temperatures. In laptop computers, components are even more delicate as the cables, ribbons are more compact in design and ventilation is even more crucial to keep the laptop and it’s lithium ion battery, and LCD screen/touchscreen and sensors cool. We can’t stress this enough but simply put, don’t leave your computer in hot locations and under the direct sunlight where temperatures can get extreme and will put the computer in a compromising environment.

The technicians here at Fixingfox highly recommend investing in a decent surge protector power outlet to connect your devices to. The purpose of the surge protector is to avoid voltage spikes that usually occur during lightning/thunderstorms or just before an electrical fuse shorts. What a lot of people don’t know is that surge protectors are not 100% guaranteed to protect your devices as there is still a chance that it could malfunction and short out the power supply unit and motherboard on your computer. For this reason, we recommend to save whatever file/document you were working on, promptly shut down the computer and unplug it from the socket until the storm passes.

Follow the 3 Rules for a Laptop Computer

Our technicians have seen so many numerous damaged or malfunctioning laptops that we have came up with the 3 Rules for our customers to follow in order to best avoid majority of mishaps in the future.

Rule 1 – Don’t drop it.

Rule 2 – Don’t Spill on it.

Rule 3 – Be careful who you let use your computer.

Don’t Drop It.

There have been many technological advances that have disrupted traditional business models and have changed our lives via application, faster and more efficient processors and such. However, none will ever defy gravity (Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation). When your laptop drops, it is falling at the rate of 9.807 M/S2 which may not seem like a lot, but it is more than enough to cause serious damage. For example, the repair technicians at Fixingfox have noticed that when customers drop their laptop, many times the force of the drop can cause a wide range of computer damage such as the screen to shatter, DC jack power outlet damage, hard drive failure, dent to the uni-body frame of your apple macbook, sensors to fail, cause cooling systems to malfunction and more.

So, please don’t put your computer in a compromising spot where it can fall off and drop. Don’t leave it near the edge of the bed, don’t have it on the edge of the sofa, don’t leave the power cord in place where you can trip over it and cause the computer to drop and so on. Just have it at a good dedicated location and when you are done using your laptop computer, store it away in a safe location.

Don’t Spill On Itcomputer service rochester ny

Keep your computer away from any drinks.

So with the hot warm weather during summer everybody will be hydrating and grabbing refreshing drinks.
Please do your best this summer to not spill any liquids on to it. We see a lot of computer setups in social gatherings where people actually bring their laptop to bar-b-ques and play their music from it. We strongly advise against this approach for playing music but rather suggest that you should invest in a quality Bluetooth speaker so that you can stream your music from a safe distance and not put your computer in a compromising position.

Be Careful Who You Let Use Your Computer

For one moment, think about all the data (family photos, music library collection, spreadsheets, documents, and costly programs) that are on your computer. Not to mention the use of your computer to access sensitive financial and medical websites and documents. Now to put things in perspective, there is an ever evolving malware, spyware, ransomware and computer viruses that seek to exploit careless and negligent users all over the world. This summer we advise you to always keep your computer away from guests (plus we advise to always have a login password as well) so that at social gatherings you can have a peace of mind that your computer and its valuable data are not in a compromising position.

Last thing any computer owner wants to experience is that they gave permission to a friend to check their email only to find out that their friend opened a sketchy email attachment that gave remote access and now the computer keeps getting pop up messages with links to sites demanding paypal payments. Or in other cases, where a computer was loaned to a friend only for it to be returned with a sticky keyboard and soda residue on the case of the laptop computer. Nowadays, majority of people have smartphones and are able to check their emails, facebook and social media accounts on their smartphones.

Install OS Updates and Security Updates

The technicians at Fixingfox Computer Repair in Rochester NY strongly advise cyber Monday online shoppers to check for updates on their laptop and desktop computers – Microsoft Windows updates or Apple OS updates – and install them well in advance of cyber Monday. Updates are critical especially since some updates are security related and some take longer than others.( It’s important to have them installed with no interruptions).

Use a Credit Card for Online Purchases

If you can, we strongly recommend that you use a credit card for online purchases on cyber Monday in order to protect yourself best from fraud. Should you not receive your goods purchased or if they are damaged, you can notify and issue a dispute and your credit card company will resolve the matter. Plus, your purchases are not being made directly with your funds directly as you are using the credit card services towards the transaction.

Go Directly to the Store’s/Manufactures Website

We advise cyber Monday shoppers to try to avoid search engines when looking for deals on goods. It is best to visit and browse directly at the online website of the store for best deals.

Avoid Social Media Click Bait Scams, Pop Up Coupons, and Don’t Open Emails with sketchy coupon attachments

There are a lot of illegitimate and untrust worthy websites and they have also infiltrated social media platforms(such as facebook and twitter) with fake accounts and announcing click bait scams that involve announcing “amazing deals” or emailing malware infected attachments. The technicians at Fixingfox advise cyber Monday shoppers to avoid social media links and coupons all together. Nowadays coupons are most typically in the form of a checkout code or in print version.

iPhone Repair in Rochester NY by Fixingfox – Fall 2016

Fixingfox Informs: iPhone Screen Replacement for iPhone 6 $129 and iPhone 5 $99

Fixingfox technicians decided together in October that they will keep the low cost of repair for both iPhone 5 and iPhone 6 to the low offer price of $99 and $129. The store located on 5 Monroe Avenue in the Village of Pittsford, is Pittsford’s largest computer store and has been established at that location since 2008. Most businesses and many households around the area use Fixingfox for their computer issues and now for their iphone and iPad issues as well.

Replacing a screen or the front assembly on an iPhone is no easy task and that is why not many computer stores and professionals get involved. It is in fact so delicate, that the Apple store won’t even fix your broken glass; they will try to sell you a refurbished unit if you decide to trade in your broken phone.

The process of fixing iPhones is meticulous, screws are very small, and there are many tiny fragile parts and ribbons that can be damaged fairly easily. There is also the issue of the broken glass that may cut one’s hand as well as damage the internal components of the iPhone. Since Fixingfox technicians are highly trained, believe it or not, they make these repairs look easy.

Fixingfox’s iPhone repair is probably the lowest price service they offer. So affordable that for $129 it is not even worth the risk of buying the part and doing the work yourself. Fixingfox technicians get at least 4 to 5 iPhones a week that are broken because an individual decided to watch a video on YouTube, buy a third party cheap screen online and do the work themselves, thus breaking something else on their phone. The reason behind the low price of $129 for iPhone 6 front assembly repair is the fact that Fixingfox was founded on the principles of always keeping up with current technology, keeping the prices low and the quality high.

The $129 flat fee for parts and labor has been a great hit among iphone 6 owners. This was not something that Fixingfox advertised heavily, however word to mouth amid the people of Rochester quickly found out and the Pittsford repair facility has been busier than never before.

Bill Gates put a computer in every desk and as a consequence to that Fixingfox was founded, however we are now in an era where Steve Jobs placed a computer in everyone’s pocket and Fixingfox once again quickly adapted to this new era.
