It’s all about quality… and usage! Behind every power supply are capacitors, fuses, and voltage regulators. When these components are of poor quality or subject to improper use , failure becomes inevitable . An unfiltered surge, regular overheating, or an overstressed cable, and the entire system suffers.
Mistakes to absolutely avoid
Here are the bad habits that are silently ruining your diet:
- Winding the cable too tightly : Pulling on it can break the internal wires. Choose a loose, loose wrap.
- Leave the power supply plugged in at all times : Even when turned off, the current continues to flow and wears out components. Unplug it if you won’t be using your computer for several days.
- Using an unofficial charger : An improperly fitted generic pack may deliver improper voltage, similar to filling a tank with a leaky hose.
- Running it in a confined space : A power supply needs ventilation, otherwise it quickly overheats.
