Most of us in today’s digital world are avid computer users, just like many other 
problems of our lives we tend to fix our machine problems by ourselves before going for 
professional help. However, in most cases doing so can only complicate our computer 
issues like data and file loss to pick a few. As you never know how and what can 
damage your computer which can even be your skin oil or any other dirt particles from 
your surrounding environment.
That’s why your best bet to avoid irreparable computer damage is to go for professional 
services. There are several computer repair shops in Canberra which offer high-end 
services of expert computer technicians to deal with all sorts of complicated computer 
issues. 
With that said, whether you are a computer user or a professional computer repair 
service, here are some of the major safety lookouts to ensure proper care of computers.

Take off any conductive pieces of jewellery you are wearing
The first thing after cleaning your hands properly is to remove any kind of 
jewellery, watch, ring, necklace, or any kind of accessories on your body. As most 
of these pieces on your body are made from metals that can easily conduct 
electricity which can be quite risky during computer repairs as the transfer of static 
electricity can short circuit your computer or even electrocute you in the worst 
situations. Since a computer is a device running at high volts, it is better to avoid 
any conductive metals especially if you’re into power testing or so, to avoid any 
irreparable damages or mishaps.

Unplug your power for extra safety
Whether it's a computer or any other electronic device it is always best to 
unplug power points before starting the repairs. As overlooking unplugging 
power can lead to unexpected major accidents and elevate your computer 
issues by overheating or short-circuiting. So, if you really want to save your 
computer on a budget without many splurges on extra hardware 
replacements or so, be smart and unplug your cables from power points 
before starting the repairs.

Wait for at least 10 secs after unplugging power points
Computer parts and other related elements often have power capacitors 
that store electricity. They are simply minicomputers inside computers that 
can hold electric charges even after being unplugged from the power 
source. So, to be safe it's smart to wait for some time after unplugging your 
device for capacitors to cut up the power inside to avoid any accidents.
Never service the non-serviceable components
Some of the computer elements like the power supply components with ‘non-
serviceable’ tags are never touched areas to avoid during the computer repairs. So, no 
matter how much of an expert you are, don’t service the ‘non-serviceable’ parts, this is 
something to be taken seriously as there are certain computer parts that experts can’t 
crack or are not allowed to touch. So, it’s better to avoid those areas during the repairs.
The following are some of the major safety checkpoints to see during computer care 
services. These are easy to follow and risk-free steps that can save a lot of 
unnecessary dangers, stress and other hassles if followed during your computer 
repairs. Next time you take a computer repair service read through the above easy 
safety steps and implement them as needed to take care of your computers safely and 
efficiently.
