What are the safety precautions of handling computer in computer hardware?

Answer 1

Use a rubberized or wooden surface for placing the components on. Never place anything on synthetic materials such as nylon, wool or cotton as it will produce static electricity. Make sure your grounded, do so by touching a metal radiator or metal rod. Products such as anti-static wrist bands can help reduce the risk of damage. Other than that, the risk is very small.

Your good to go!

Answer 2

For using the computer, you should have the good anti virus checkers and similar installed.

Provided the computer is still in its case, you should have a device to prevent voltage spikes along either the mains, or the phone lines.

If you wish to get inside the case, I'd advise against it, as static electricity can damage the components instantly. Earthing of yourself and so on is needed, but you should know what these hazards are.

Answer 3

You have to use a anti-astic mat or a anti-static wrist strap to prevent static electricity from damaging the computer parts. If you dont have neither of the items i just mentioned you can just use the computer metal case to discharge any static elrc. you may have.

Answer 4

Well, this all depends on what your doing. If your repairing a computer you want to make sure you are grounded with an anti-static wrist strap and the power is unplugged. If you are cleaning a computer, use a can of compressed air or an air compressor ( works very well ). NEVER use a vacuum, it can cause static and will fry the motherboard, ram, video card, etc.

Answer 5

There is only really one: Disconnect the power supply before opening the box or sticking anything into an opening. Other than that, avoid disturbing the contents since you may disconnect some of the fragile wires and circuits, rendering your computer useless.

Other than that, avoid carrying a heavy monitor and CPU any distance.
