Common maintenance techniques for power adapters

1, avoid wet environment
Notebook power adapter should be used to avoid wet environment. The function of the power adapter is to convert 220 volts of direct current from household electricity into direct current, so it should never be used in a humid environment. Whether you put the adapter on the table or on the floor, be careful not to place cups or damp things around it to prevent the adapter from burning out.
2. Pay attention to heat dissipation under high temperature environment
At room temperature, we can put the adapters side by side, and pay attention to the heat dissipation of the power adapter. Unlike a laptop, the power adapter is just a sealed, precision appliance that can be cooled by a fan, unlike a computer. Since the adapter itself is a more heat dissipation process, if the room temperature is still relatively high, it is too unfavorable for the maintenance of the power adapter. Remember not to use the power adapter for too long at high temperature. If you have to use it for a long time, you need to pay attention to its heat dissipation, such as the auxiliary convection heat dissipation by the fan. It is also possible to insert a narrow plastic block or metal block between the adapter and the desktop to increase the convection speed of the air around the adapter and speed up the heat of the adapter.
3. Use a model matching power adapter
As we all know, the notebook power adapter is generally composed of two parts, one is a power line, one end is a power plug, one end can be inserted on the adapter, the other part is the adapter body and connected to the computer data line. If the original adapter of the notebook is damaged, the original model matching product should be purchased and used. If using Shanzhai similar products, may be used in a short time, but due to the difference in manufacturing process, long time use will have greater risk, even short circuiting, burning, and so on.
4. Reasonable charge
When the battery of the laptop is in the charging state, it is better to not run large 3D games and other programs that make the whole machine work heavy, so that the battery charging speed is slow or dissatisfied because the power adapter output power is not enough, and the load of the power adapter is too heavy.
5. Abnormality should be stopped in time
When the power adapter sends out large work noise or even smokes, it is often damaged or malfunction, and should be stopped immediately. It can be put into use again after a professional engineer is overhauled.
6. Often wipe and clean the dust
The maintenance of notebook power adapter requires cleaning dust frequently and gently putting it away to prevent collision. As I have mentioned before, notebook power adapter is an electrical appliance with high calorific value and good heat dissipation. However, due to its own design, many power adapters have poor heat dissipation. In daily use and maintenance, should often use dry soft cloth or paper towel to wipe the surface dust, prevent dust into the gap and reduce the heat dissipation performance.
