Computer Repair in Kalamazoo

The Summer Storm season is here!  Is your computer ready for it?  We at Geek Easy know that its not something that is on every computer owners mind, but it is definitely worth taking the time to protect your investment!

Below are some tips to help protect your computer:

Protect yourself with a surge protector. Cheap  power strips don’t cut it. Surge protectors and battery backups should be checked or replaced every few years to make sure they are still providing adequate protection.

If you know that a storm is coming, unplug your hardware, laptops, printers and other electronic devices from all power sources. More computers and other electronics are damaged during storm season due to power surges through modem and data lines — so be sure to also disconnect your DSL or Internet cable cord from the computer.

If your hardware is on the ground of your home or office, be sure to lift them from the floor to protect them from flood damage.

Finally,  be sure to back up your data frequently. This way your chance of forever losing important files is greatly lessened.

So keep your eyes to the skies and stay tuned for more info you should know!
