Daily Measures to Prevent Static Electricity
Reducing static electricity buildup can lower the risk of malfunctions:
1. Maintain ambient humidity: Use a humidifier or maintain indoor humidity between 40% and 60%. Dry environments easily generate static electricity.
2. Ensure proper grounding of equipment: Use grounded sockets and avoid operating the computer on plastic carpets.
3. Reduce friction and cleaning/maintenance:
- Avoid frequent plugging and unplugging of peripherals; keep hands dry during operation.
- Regularly clean the computer surface with a soft cloth to remove dust, as dust easily accumulates static electricity.
4. Use anti-static tools: In professional settings, wear an anti-static wrist strap or use an anti-static mat to conduct static electricity from the body to the ground.
If the above methods are ineffective, it may be a hardware malfunction; it is recommended to contact a professional repair technician.
