SUMMARY:
- Always start with connecting the laptop to the charger, then the plug to the outlet and only then turn the laptop on.
- If you frequently use your laptop while it’s plugged in, it’s a good idea to take out the battery after you’ve charged it to about 50-60%.
- Impatience gives your computer too much pressure it can’t handle, causing the operating system to freeze and the distortion of data.
- It’s not just the grid to blame for power surges, lightning can give you a hard time as it sends its pulses through cables and even phone wires.
- Remember, your computer needs an effective cooling system. Otherwise, you’re at risk of overheating and the interrupting functionality.
- For the operating system to run smoothly for many years, give it the treatment it deserves.
- Sleep and hibernation are only good when you’re using the gadget at home and don’t like to constantly wait for the system to fully boot (although it’s worth doing it from time to time).
- One thing that your laptop and computer both have in common is that they hate the Sun. Obviously, it can cause problems with overheating, and its rays can slowly, but surely, kill your display.
- What do the cables and power cords of your laptop look like? If they’re all twisted and bent or wrapped around something to keep them bundled, don’t expect them to serve you a long time.
- Heat is your laptop’s worst enemy, so keep your gadget cool on a flat and firm surface.
- When your power supply burns or gets lost, don’t go for a cheaper version or borrow your friend’s old charger to save money.
- If your disk is full but you don’t think you have too many programs installed, try using some tools that delete rarely used and temporary files.
- Ammonia-based, alcohol-containing substances can seriously damage the anti-reflective coating of your screen and shorten its lifespan.
- Whenever it’s possible, turn off the sound, keyboard backlight, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi if you can work offline.

Hey there guys, what’s the main purpose you use your computer for? Work, school projects or maybe games?
Project, games and watch CZcams (mostly)
Usually watch youtube and play few online games as well.
BRIGHT SIDE videos
Does this work with tablets and phones Etc
youtube mostly on this channel cuz it’s educative
I broke all of these and I'm still using the laptop that I bought last 7 years.
the same, and and is an ACER laptop.
I think it is the child of Nokia 3310.
I've plugged in my laptop ever since I bought it, seldom removing it at all. The battery is in it, never took it out. Today, it still runs fine. I left it plugged in, day and night... probably 3 to 4 years now. It is an HP.
I have broke most of these as well but my laptop has also been drowned (several times), and was sitting under a sink that was leaking water in to it oddly enough it still works fine (its a Toshiba got it 6 years ago)
1000% agree... i keep my laptop pluged in 24/7 from last 4 years, same laptop (lenovo x230 i7) , still my battery give me 6-7 hours and same 90 watt charger.
my friend: lets play minecraft!
me: wait i take my computer out the fridge.
Seems legit if your running those real life shaders XD
Underrated comment...
haahha
F You bro That destroys it Im telling you!
Sadly this made me laugh
The thing is my dude... Laptop batteries aren't removable this days... 😂 😂
They are :)
Like mine,us it ok if i plug in the laptop while using? I wonder why my laptop batery is taking only 2 hrs life span.
Open your laptop and take the battery out 😂
i meant unscrew
unless you want to void your warranty
20 years from now, people are going to look back at this video and laugh at how ancient it is.

There is a lot of inaccurate and outdated information in this video.
14: Well built power supplies don’t have this problem. Many of us have been connecting our laptops this way for years without issue. Modern power supplies even mostly shut down automatically with no load.
13: Modern laptops have better management that can cycle the battery when it’s full. Also, some laptops are so light that they rely on the battery to keep them upright. Not all laptops let you easily remove the battery, either.
12: Only in rare cases will trying to do something “too soon” cause issues. For most of us, it’s fine.
11: power strips don’t offer any real surge protection, and by the time there is a surge, it would have been too late for you to cut power anyway. If you’re worried about lightning, just unplug it.
10: this one about placement and ventilation is ok
9: ok, software maintenance is important, but registry editing is not recommended for the average user.
8: sleep and hibernation modes were specifically made for laptops, so people could transport them without having to wait for a full boot up. Both modes shut down mechanical devices. Also, hibernation is exactly the same as shutting it down, as far as the hardware is concerned.
7: exposing to sunlight - ok
6: mangling the cables - ok
5: mostly ok except for coolers. Unless the laptop is poorly designed, it should cool itself just fine on a flat surface.
4: cheap power supply - ehhh I’ll give you this one.
3: more and more laptops are coming with solid state drives, making fragmentation a non-issue. Running defrag tools on an SSD is not recommended.
2: cleaning - ok
1: why would keeping headphones plugged in to the analog audio output when there’s no audio, pull any power? The only way I can think of is if they have a also have a condenser microphone built in.
This comment should be on top
Why you dont got much likes ???? You explained very well
......Thanks bro
its a good video just 30 years too late lol
thank you for not leaving the trust unsaid
Mythbuster!
My laptop hasn't been turned off in 2 yrs, goes to sleep itself and works like a charm the next day.
I'd recommend restarting it, but I'm pretty certain based on what you said.
The moment your Laptop shuts off, it's never turning back on...
@@BreadMan434 haha that's not how it works. Many computer professionals advice it's not necessary to shutdown your computer every time. Just stop your processes and put it to sleep. This also helps the battery to last long. You also don't need to keep on charging when it's in sleep. If it has more than 80% of charge left, it can easily last for more than a week

Uhm...I don't understand what you mean.. Can you explain it to me?
@@deadchannel5933 modern laptops are capable of controlling the power from ur power supply. I mean u can leave ur laptop plugged in if u r using Lithium ion batteries.
Lithium ion batteries will lose their capacity if they are kept near 0% or 100% for long. Not sure how the chemistry works but they go under some kind of non reversible reaction which decreases the charge holding capacity. My asus laptop has a software where I can set the max battery level to 60% when I'm using it in always plugged in mode. I think that would increase battery life.
@@KC-mu2jp I kept my lithium ion battery plugged in and the battery bloated and bent parts of my chasis.
Fun fact: you can keep your laptop on egg pallets to improve ventilation if your laptop’s cooling fan is located below.

J. J. Yeah. My laptop has a built in battery. So I just put my laptop in the fridge. 😂

Putting your laptop in the fridge will do more harm than good. Sudden temperature change are extremely bad for Li-ion and li-poly batteries. DO NOT EVER PUT YOUR ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN THE FRIDGE.
It's 1895, actually.

full of bullsh**s... keeping the battery in a fridge!? Dude, it`s 2019, not 1998...
I agree! My laptop has a Li-Polymer battery. Which means i can never remove the battery!
Our laptops will automaticly disconnect the battery while it's fully charged, or charged for 99 percent. In windows setting, we can set this limitation to 80 percent or less.
Actually, there's something to that, at least for lithium batteries. It turns out the chemical process that degrades performance with age is slowed in low temps. You're all correct though, most of this info is way outdated. The person who put together the video had no clue about computers or anything else technical.

So true
moving your computer around in sleep mode has actually become less harmful in recent years thanks to solid state drives becoming the norm. They have no moving parts and therefore cannot become damaged by getting jostled around. It's the same with disk fragmentation, and in fact with SSDs you actually DON'T want to do anything about this because the drive does wear leveling on purpose which purposely fragments the drive to prevent one NAND cell from getting written to more often than another so that cells on the drive don't start dying prematurely as SSD NAND cells actually have a limited number of write cycles before they die. On top of this, defragmenting the drive would just cause the drive to get worn out faster because to relocate the data the drive controller has to zero out the one bit and write a one to another bit just causing both of those bits to have one less write cycle available before they die.
Also, remember to regularly smear your keyboard in Vaseline. Keyboards work much better when they're adequately lubricated. Once you've wiped the Vaseline off, put the laptop in a bucket of water. Just as water helps plants to grow, water will allow your laptop's operating system to upgrade itself organically. You'll be running Windows 11 before all your friends. They'll be so jealous!

Actually, modern laptops have voltage regulators that prevent battery damage. You don't have to remove your battery anymore.
And on modern laptops like the Microsoft Surface Pro 6 you can't even remove the battery

nice grammar my dude :)
not everyone's mother language is english fxxkers
I think some of the tips are for a laptop from the 1990`s, for example, you can leave the battery inside the laptop while the charger is connected because modern laptops have an option to turn off battery charging, and if you have an SSD, you can carry your laptop in hibernation or sleep mode because it won`t affect it at all, this maybe applies to HDD. And it makes no difference if you connect the power supply to the laptop after you plugged it in. The PC still needs some time to turn on after the welcome message ? Yeah, if your booting from a floppy disk :) Ever heard of SSD NVMe ? You should try it.
I thought I read some threads in the internet that plugging your laptop without removing the battery is totally fine as the battery is full therefore the power will come directly from the charger current and not to deplete the battery. As it also gives a battery cycle count?
1) Can you explain me how headphones consume power when laptop is turned off? (spoiler they dont)
2) most laptops have usbs disabled when closed so you can plug anything and it wont consume any power
lol this video is like hoax
Most of those tips aren't useful for modern computers.

Just to add on #5 in preventing heat on the laptop. Once a month while it is turned off, try to vacuum the air vents especially the exhaust part. I once had a laptop that had a burned out graphics processing chip all because of dust that accumulated on the exhaust port blocking the air that was supposedly cooling the heat sink on the chip.
ok thats crazy
it's been 7 months and i still haven't cleaned my laptop
1. Batteries are not removable anymore and it's 2019, voltage regulators make it mostly unnecessary.
2. Sleep mode may be harmful (not sure), but hibernate is not harmful at all. When you hibernate your computer, the system copies your entire RAM in a compressed manner to your hard disk, then actually shuts down and loads it back on boot. So while the laptop is hibernated, it's drawing 0 power, just like a shut down.
I have laptop i cant take Batteries out
Sleep mode is only harmful if your battery is bad or something software-wise is wrong. With everything working properly, if your laptop is sleeping and the battery drains to a certain level, the laptop is supposed to wake up, long enough to properly enter hibernation (or shut down if you disable hibernation).

The Sony Vaio has a battery care feature. It can be set to maintain a charge of 50% or 80% when plugged in so you don't have to remove the battery. Of course it would have to be reset to fully charge the battery if planning on taking it on the road.
The battery in my 10 year old Vaio is original and still provides 4 to 6 hours of life.

when unplugging after charging do you unplug from the outlet first or from the laptop?
That's why you want a Desktop: for reliability
And a laptop for: practicality
#14 - i believe the recommended way is to power it up first, before connecting the load - (the laptop). that way, the power brick has been already fully initialized. what was recommend has putting more stress to the power brick and possibly to the laptop.
but of course, what's in the manual should be the authoritative.
The power brick is not a computer.
@@the2323guy, thank you for trying to correct me. but i am referring to the power supply (adaptor) when i said power brick. that switching power supply has automatic high in-rush current and power factor corrector. so even without load, the power supply will not get damage. in fact, it is better you plug the brick first unconnected to the laptop, and once it is powered up is is ready at the right voltage level and when you plug it in, the laptop sees the actual voltage (say 19vdc).
when you plug the brick in the outlet with the laptop connected, the laptop sees the voltage from zero volts initially up to the right level. i do not know if that has effect on the laptop, but i suspect it does stress the brick (but propeely designed one will not matter).
and yeah, you're correct. power brick is not a computer.
Look, I have a gaming laptop, and the battery is in the laptop, I can't get it out, just like modern phones, but it has an option in dell power manager that only depend on the charger, will the battery still work fine? Or it still will get affected.
What about if your laptop is built in battery? Is it ok using it when your plugin the power supply? Thank you. New subs from Philippines

Dam right and the hibernation one was like if somebody cracked a really bad joke
@@nazirahmadshah367 I can confirm that I store my batteries in the fridge as I am human being, I am big smart (NGL this is pretty unrelated to your comment, too tired to think rn so yeah, I think I'm going to get get a midnight snack, a shocking one to be specific ;)
When you hibernate your PC, it shuts down, but it saves the RAM content to the hard drive. So its actually shut down.
Fun fact: Unlike popular belief, playing on laptop without plugging in charger does more harm than playing while it charges.
Nice 👍
Thanks 😊
Another tip to keep your laptop cool you can put it on an ice bath instead of cooling pad. Remember to wrap the bottom of your laptop to avoid water damage.
Most of these "rules" are wrong! Please don't make videos about pcs or laptops again!
Yeah you're right
HATERS BACK OFFF
They maybe make a workout with the PC.

#6 once I had my cords all intangled that my speakers were playing radio with all the plugs pulled out hahaha.
you definitely have a point about the wires wearing out but also interference is a big factor aswell
Is it ok for me to use a gaming laptop 24/7 with its battery untakeable out? (and i dont have any sort of liquid that cleans the screen without damaging it so is it also fine for me to just clean it with my hand or something?)
My girlfriend she seems harmless to my laptop but she do harm 😅😂😂
I strongly doubt the battery trick. That issue with batteries tend to be less valid these days as batteries become more smart and manage energy themself for self preservation. It is the same with smartphones. That's also the reason why certain constructors don't make removable batteries any more.
I have a recoverable battery
Wow never knew this lol.Thx Bright Side
Thank you for sharing sir new supporters here
Never use a Laptop on your bed without having something in between like a fan onboard a laptop stand.
The covering on the bed will amplify the heat
We keep all our laptops plugged in to the power source all the time. We don’t remove our batteries. All laptop batteries are still running strong after 5+ years!
... if you leave plugged in it can just use power from plug without needing battery at all
@@mlee6050 i know my laptop does this. When i plug it in and the battery is full it disconnects the battery and just runs on ac power
If your laptop is heating so much, take it to technician and ask him to clean the fan and apply new cooling paste to CPU.
Son:can we have pc at home
Mom:no son,just take off battery and put it in fridge
My laptop's battery recently died and now I know why?
RIP BATTERY
Why
Put your battery in the fridge, NOT the freezer lol 😂😆
Yeah true & you will fill the battery with moisture.
@Gabriel Phillips The freezer is the coolest place in the house
Sorry had to do it
Meanwhile me trying to break my 8 year old computer without any physical damage so that my parents buy me a new one
man dont do that. that old computer can be used for so many other things once you get a new one!
Plus just ask your parents tell them its too slow or try to make it faster
Is it ok if I keep my laptop charger plugged in the laptop if my laptop has a built in battery? Thanks.
This helps PC manufacturers to build better hardware and systems, to face all of those hectic today.
0:31 why i'm always doing that 😭
Keep it. Even the Manufacturer who made your stuff knows that is the way you do it. What they said here is false as always. No surprise 😲
Sameee, it's like a habit to me but I'll try to avoid it now..
@@yumera2286 if you have an outdated laptop they do it but if it’s a new model don’t worry abt it
Awesome!!!
thank you for your idea that teach me a lesson
