We see this from a lot of people who have been travelling, always on the move or students coming to and from school or university and either need their computer back up and running or need data recovery in Townsville.

Lots of people use laptops now.

The ability to just drop everything and pick up at a moments notice and start working somewhere else when you arrive is the standard in which we do work and operate these days.

Most people buy laptops for this very reason.

So, if we buy laptops so we can use them on the go, why do we see so many laptops and notebooks dying when people travel with their laptops.

Laptop being knocked around

You would think that having a laptop which is made to be taken with you would not be susceptible to knocks and bumps.

Hard drives are very sensitive and don’t handle bumps or sudden movements very well. And the hard drives in laptops are exactly the same as the ones in desktop computers, just smaller.

They have a head and arms sand spinning disks which if bumped can be damaged very easily and you could loose everything, and need data recovery in Townsville.

If you plan on doing a lot of moving with your laptop, when you but one, look for one which has a solid state drive.

Not only are they much faster, but they also have no moving parts and aren’t as susceptible to being damaged from sudden movements and constant floating around in laptop bags.

Power Sources

This is a big one a lot of people do not think about, specially when travelling to countries with less regilated electricity systems.

This first things is different countries use different Voltage. Even though you have bought an adaptoer whcih is suppose to work in every country, does not mean one hat fits all.

The second is as mentioned the quality of power source you are using.

A lot of countries have little to no regulations. And even if their a no power issues you might be at a house, business or hotel which is not maintained or setup properly.

All this can damage your computer, including motherboard which will stop your computer form even powering up or damage your hard drive, resulting in loss off data and need data recovery.

Damaged Screen

Screens are very sensitive also. You computer might actually be working but the screen wont show up because it has been damaged.

You would expect a damaged screen show a crack or bad pixel when your turn it on it it is damaged but that is not always the case.

Laptops and notebooks being constantly moved, dropped on to the back seat of a car, overhead luggage compartments can easily damaged the screen and resulting you computer not working properly.

Always backup before travelling!
