Will wet weather affect the computer?

If the humidity is too high, it will cause moisture to adhere to the surface of computer components, reduce the working performance of internal circuits, and even cause short circuits and burn some components. More seriously, the metal parts of the disk drive will rust and be damaged after the humid air is sucked into the computer; The insulation performance of the printed circuit board will also deteriorate. Excessive humidity will also affect magnetic materials, resulting in reading and writing errors; The connectors and related contact parts inside the computer will leak electricity and have poor contact due to excessive humidity. These phenomena will affect the normal work of the computer system. Low humidity also has a serious impact on computers. Low humidity can easily generate static electricity, which will not only cause fire due to discharge, but also easily absorb dust, resulting in computer circuit short circuit and disk reading and writing errors, and even damage the disk or head in serious cases.

In order to avoid and reduce the influence of humidity on the computer, the following measures can be taken:

1. Choose the location of the computer room reasonably, try not to use bungalows and the ground floor of the building, and choose the upper room of the building with relatively low humidity.

2. There should be a hygrometer in the room where the computer is placed, so as to know the change of humidity in the computer room in time.

3. Where computers are placed, humidity adjustment equipment, such as dehumidifiers and humidifiers, can be installed in the computer room if conditions permit.

4. In case of continuous rainy weather, for machines that have not been used for a long time, you can open the cover and blow some parts by turns with a hair dryer to accelerate the evaporation of humid air and reduce the damage to the computer.
