Author: Since a laptop is taken out frequently and used under all conditions, laptop repair requirements are generally more frequent than a desktop repair. Since laptop service centers abound everywhere, this does not pose a problem.
However, taking outside help for laptop service can be substantially reduced by using it in such a way that repair requirements are kept to a minimum, by doing some of the laptop repair on one’s own, and by making use of the laptop warranty options the right way.
Laptop repair requirements can be kept to a minimum by cleaning up the machine occasionally. For this, unwanted files, folders, and unused programs should be deleted at fixed intervals. The Desktop should be maintained uncluttered without dotting it with independent files and folders and shortcut icons of all types. The Hard disk should also be defragmented now and then using the built-in defragmentation option. Defragmentation will rearrange data and make more space available on the machine.
Keeping the security system of the machine updated is also important in minimizing the need for laptop repair. Laptop sellers normally provide the users with the latest anti virus program. But the user has to ensure that its update facility, as well as the update facility of the operating system, is always kept active. If programs do not get steady updates, its utility value will progressively diminish.
While these precautionary measures can reduce the need for laptop repair, and dependency on laptop service providers, it will not completely nullify its probability. However, some of the problems may not be as serious as it appears at first sight. A flickering LCD screen could sometimes be the result of problems in power supply and may be rectified by repairing the power connection. But if it is the result of a damaged LCD back light, or maybe of the screen it self, then that will have to be replaced.

Thanks for this detailed input and advice on maintenance of the laptop. I noticed that a cluttered desktop does slow down the functioning of my laptop considerably.
