Lube, make your computer live longer

first, the Plug and a variety of switches to add lubricating oil

Many of the jumpers and sockets on the computer board, as well as the input and output plugs of the power box, belong to the connectors, and they all have a common enemy--oxidation. Oxidation will lead to the contact of the connector is bad, sometimes bad contact caused by trouble is very demanding. Although we all hope that our computer has no contact with the bad fault, but often counterproductive. But you do not worry, with lubricating oil can be very effective to prevent the connector is oxidized, all you have to do is drop a drop of lube on each Jack and jumper cap, which will not only prevent the connector from being oxidized, but also have a good repair effect on the connectors that have had minor contact.

Current-type switches are only more common in peripherals, and are mostly power switches. For example, the active speaker or some of the AC power switch on the monitor on the power switch, if they wear or ignition can lead to internal contact is bad. If the power switch contact is bad, the consequences can be very serious (except for the very perfect protection circuit), light will damage several components, heavy may appear "burn" phenomenon (only very small probability). Fortunately, lubricating oil can effectively reduce the wear and tear of the switch, but also can be more effective to suppress the ignition, so the metal contact with a variety of switches to add one or two drops of lubricating oil is essential. Other computer peripherals also exist in the function of the conversion of the multi-file toggle switch, such a switch is most easily due to severe wear and bad contact or even damage, so it is necessary to add a few drops of lubricant metal contact.

Sometimes the CD-ROM disk will be repeatedly in and out of the warehouse or into the warehouse after the failure to read and spindle motor rotation and other failures, such a failure is likely because of the tray in place to detect the limit switch or the bald-headed feed limit switch oxidation failure caused. So when the optical drive is normal, the metal contact part of the various limit switches in the optical drive should also add some lubricating oil to prevent such faults. Of course, if such a failure had occurred, it would have been well done, toggle type limit switch as long as the addition of two drops of lubricating oil and repeatedly struck a few times can be repaired; the key-type limit switch can usually be disassembled to remove the shell and add lubricating oil to repair, for the spring-type limit switch can be used with small mixed file to remove oxide and lubricating oil repair.

　　Second, to all kinds of gear and drive mechanism to add lubricating oil

Do you like to read the CD-ROM drive? is the ability to correct error reduction? Is it still not effective to wipe the bald lens? In fact, the difficulty of reading the disk is not only the optical channel and circuit parts of the fault, mechanical parts of the abnormal will also lead to the above situation. We know that most of the bald-headed feed is driven by a variety of motor drive gear to drive the teeth platoon to complete, and some high-speed optical drive also uses metal worm and worm gear to drive the bald head. Because the high speed of the internal temperature of the optical drive, and a variety of gears are long-term work, so the factory added the point of lubricating oil will soon lose its effect (has become dry thickening). At this time, the bald head will be due to the resistance of the feed mechanism to become more difficult to read the disk, so in this case you might as well to the CD-ROM drive in a variety of gears (including worm and worm gear) to add a small amount of "butter" (Hardware companies have sold) try, usually will be "oil" to the disease apart. Adopt the belt drive mechanism mainly is the optical drive tray to enter and exit the storehouse part, sometimes in and out of the warehouse will lead to the failure to read or repeatedly in and out of the warehouse, and so on, so the drive wheel in the belt drive drive should also be appropriate to add some lubricating oil, but remember not on the belt and drive wheel center shaft of the fixed part of refueling ( These parts are used to make use of friction, but rather to refuel on the rotating part of the center axis of the drive wheel, otherwise it will be reversed. Another: This method is also available for peripherals with mechanical mechanisms such as printers.

Note: Before adding solid lubricating oil, the original dried black oil must be removed.

　　Third, to all kinds of keys to add lubricating oil

There are many keys in the computer, the most common is keyboard keys, mouse buttons, optical drive in and out of the warehouse keys. These keys can be used for a period of time after a number of minor problems, for example, sometimes click No response to press two or more times before it will work, and some keys will appear to click on the production of more than the effect, even more is simply no matter how the press is no longer useful. To prevent such a thing from happening, we'd better put some lube on it when we just bought it home. Where the mechanical keyboard, if appropriate, to add some lubricant to all its keys, the use of the handle is more than the capacitance of the keyboard several times, and will not be a leak hit a key thing (I used the mechanical keyboard with oil added in 20 minutes to play more than 2000 characters). Mechanical keyboard in China's brand machine is not a few, refueling method is the first button cap with a small screwdriver slightly forcibly, and then the center button in the edge of the seam around add a drop of lubricating oil. Another: Wheel mouse left and right button do not add too much lubricating oil, usually add one or two drops on the line, or lubricants if you run to the wheel, your mouse will not listen to you again.

　　Four, to all kinds of fan lubricating oil

Have you ever had a problem with the noise of a fan? Have you ever had a fan stop? With lubricants you will be more effective to solve these two problems, as for refueling methods many articles have been said, so I will not repeat. Just try to add more when you refuel, do not be careful to add only one or two drops, you can safely fill the oil full. Even if there is a small amount of oil flow out of nothing, only this effect will be obvious. You will find that the addition of oil fans will not only reduce the noise, but also the air volume will become larger, the probability of the fan shutdown will naturally be greatly reduced.

　　Add lubricant to the volume knob of the Speaker

Hit the imported hi-fi-level speakers, may find that there are a lot of audio equipment volume potentiometer are very greasy, but these sound volume potentiometer will almost not appear to adjust the noise and contact the bad things. Later, I found that the general volume potentiometer If you add some lubricating oil, the same can be done without regulating noise and basic to eliminate contact, so we also want to give our multimedia speakers and CD-ROM volume potentiometer plus two or three drops of lubricating oil.

Refueling method is very simple, first find the potential of any openings, and then you can refuel the inside of the potentiometer. If you really can't find the opening, you can also at the edge of the button to refuel (just refueling time to be longer and more oil), and then repeatedly rotating the potentiometer button lever. At this point you will find that the volume knob is much better than before, the same potentiometer on all parts of the rotation resistance is the same when the refueling work completed. This method can also repair those who adjust the noise and slight contact of the volume potentiometer, but if the use of this method is still ineffective, you can only change a potentiometer. In addition, there are many multimedia speakers also have a tonal adjustment function, in fact, the regulation of high, bass knob is also a rotary potentiometer, so you have to add some lubricating oil.

Note: Some computer monitors brightness and contrast adjustment is also used by the knob-type potentiometer, and because of its poor contact caused by the failure also occurs, so can also be used for lubricating oil for maintenance and repair.

　　Six, to all kinds of motor lubricating oil

In the computer host only the optical drive and the floppy drive motor can be added lubricating oil, when you find that they are working with a lot of noise when it proves that it has a serious lack of lubrication. Usually these motors are equipped with refueling holes, of course, there are many products do not have this hole, for those who do not have refueling holes in the motor you can in the rotor edge of the motor to refuel. In addition, the method has obvious repairing effect on some motor with slight sweep failure (the spindle motor in high speed optical drive usually does not appear to be swept).
