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.
2. Unplug and Power Down Your Computer During Thunderstorms
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 It
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.
Lastly, if you do encounter any computer related problems please contact Fixingfox or walk in to our repair facility located at 5 Monroe Avenue in the Village of Pittsford. Walk ins are always welcome but we encourage customers to call us in advance as the shop tends to get busy form time to time.

Technicians warned about an increase in virus attacks and are willing to give everyone tips on how to avoid these viruses and know if your computer has been infected before it turns into “something nasty”. Signs of infection may include:
Computer running slow or slower than usual
Computer crashing
Computer freezing
Internet browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Chrome re-directing websites from search engines such as Google and Yahoo
E-mail spams to yourself or to your contact list from your personal email
Anti-virus locking up your computer saying “You Have a Virus”
There are many other factors not mentioned above that may be a sign that your computer may be compromised by a virus. A great way to check for viruses is to download a program such as Malware Bytes and running a quick scan to see what it finds.
Fixing Fox technicians are also seeing a huge spike in rogue. These are viruses such as the FBI virus (a very common and popular one) all the way to anything that locks up a computer and mentions something along the lines of “…you have a virus…please pay us money in order to clean the infection…” What ever this is telling you, one thing is for sure, your computer is infected, however the “virus program” is actually the virus itself. If this happens to you, DO NOT PAY THEM MONEY. What will happen is that this type of virus will “go away” for a little while only to wake up one day and keep asking you for more money.
At the FixingFox store, their highly trained technicians can identify what infections a computer may have and fix the problem properly. Sometimes a virus removal may not suffice since the virus may have corrupted the operating system (Windows) may be corrupted once the virus is fully removed. If this is the case, your personal files may still be recoverable and your computer may still be mended using other means such as a Windows repair or a Windows Re-Installation. Viruses are most commonly found in Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 computers, it is less found in other operating systems such as Mac OSX and Linux.
If you believe you are having a virus related problem with your computer, the $69 flat fee virus removal may be right for you. It is very important to have a professional handle this type of work because some of these new viruses may be very tricky and you can even run the risk of losing your files or identity theft and should be taking seriously.
