Regardless of the brand or model, television has become an essential part of the domestic daily life. It is a source of entertainment, information and, for many, a window to the world. But like any other electronic equipment, it also requires regular care. The accumulation of dust, fat or other waste can affect not only the quality of the image and sound, but also to compromise the internal functioning of the device.
According to the technology site, TechTudo, there are at least five signs that are alert to the need for more careful cleaning. They are discrete indicators, but easy to identify if you are aware of the details.
Spots that appear (even when there is no light)
The first sign has to do with the screen. If you begin to notice stains that only become visible with moving images or clear backgrounds, it is likely to be facing fat marks or surface dirt.
In this case, the same site explains, the ideal is to use a slightly moistened cloth with distilled water, making circular and soft movements over the affected areas. It should then dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
Muffled sound may not be defective… it may be powder
Does the sound look less clear? The fault may be the grids of ventilation or the columns, which accumulate dust over time. To solve, it is recommended to use a dry microfiber cloth, and for more difficult areas such as sound inlets, a cotton swab can be a precious help. According to the same source, the obstruction of these outputs may even cause overheating.
Television to turn off alone? Look at the ventilation grills
If television begins to disconnect unexpectedly, it is possible that the ventilation system is poorly working. The accumulation of debris in these grills prevents the regulation of internal temperature and forces the device to disconnect as a security measure. In these cases, writes the site, compressed air can be used with care, but the first step should always be a surface cleaning with flannel cloth.
Failing cables? Maybe it’s not the cable
HDMI, antenna or others that are on the back of the television can accumulate dust, especially when it is placed near the wall. The bad connection that results may seem like cable failure, but it is often only dirty contacts. Explains the Techtudo that cleaning with a dry cotton swab usually resolves the situation.
The command that no one cleans (but everyone plays)
Finally, the television command. We touch it every day, but it is rare to clean it. The result is the accumulation of fat, dust and other dirt. Before any cleaning, you should remove the batteries. Then it is recommended to use fast drying alcohol applied with a microfiber cloth. The most difficult zones can be cleaned with cotton swabs, always careful not to erase buttons symbols.
As referred to in, more than a matter of hygiene, television cleaning ensures better usage experience and can avoid expensive repairs in the future. Just a little attention and some simple care to prolong the life of the equipment and continue to enjoy image and sound with the usual quality.
