Tips To Save Your Laptop Battery Life

If you are going on a road trip and do not have frequent access to a power point to charge your laptop battery, saving battery life is the only solution. The first thing is to switch it off when not in need; in hostel rooms and college life, we rarely see laptops switched off, which would adversely weaken the laptop battery regardless of the brand. Almost all laptop computers come with power saving mode or enter hibernating state, so that battery charge would remain longer.

Computer support tips to save laptop battery 
What all have you done yet to save laptop battery life? If you do not have a control on the battery usage, the battery would worsen its performance eventually. Here are 6 things to be taken care of, if you are focusing on enhancing your laptop battery life.
External devices

Remove external devices right after use as the plugged in devices to laptop ports consumes power to a large extent, having an impact on the remaining battery charge.
Display settings 

Just like mobile phones, laptop screens are also great power guzzlers. So make sure to keep the screen brightness as low as possible to prevent more battery usage. If you have enabled keyboard backlighting, more battery charge would be used up; turn off this feature as well to save battery.
Overheating 

Internal fans would run faster due to overheating and consumes more battery charge. Make use of coolers to steer away from this situation.
Hibernate 

If you do not shut down your laptop properly, the system enters the hibernating mode, which would require some battery power.
Windows power plans

These are built in set ups for Windows system to save battery charge. These power plans avail you features to turn off devices, USB power and brightness, so that no unnecessary battery power is used by your laptop computer.
Battery care

 The battery discharge cycle is recorded by this application and displays a detailed status of the battery listing out consumption, wear level, manufacturer…The CPU and hard drive temperature are indicated if the system is overheated.
There is hardly anyone who hasn’t slept off with the laptop on, watching a movie or listening to music. There are few others who always keep the power cord plugged into the laptop computer and keep on charging the battery. This would kill the battery life and any computer support team would readily accept this.

Not Convinced With Logitech USB Mouse Driver?


Device drivers are developed to link up a connection between the computer operating system and a particular device. Indiana University is known for the research and inventions that they have contributed to the tech field. They describes a device driver as "A code that an operating system uses to control disk devices, display adapters, input devices such as a mouse or trackball, modems, fax machines, printers and other hardware".

Simply attaching a new hardware and connecting it to the computer doesn’t mean that it’s going to work on your machine; you will have to call up the device with a command or program for which a device driver is used. A device driver will help a computer system to identify the hardware attached to it. However, after a few short years, hardware can become obsolete and won’t be compatible with some of the latest software and applications. In such situations you will have to remove the device driver from the computer along with the device to make space for other programs. It’s pretty easy to remove driver software from your Windows PC; you can establish this with the aid of various hardware management tools that comes built-in with every operating system. In fact you don’t have to avail the service of a computer support service to eradicate a device driver from your system. Just pursue the following guidelines to get rid of Logitech USB Mouse driver from your Windows machine.
Instructions
Ready? Let’s start. Navigate to the bottom left corner of your Windows machine to trigger the "Start" tab to bring on the startup menu inside which you would be able to access the "Control Panel" window.

Inside the control panel window get hold of the “hardware management” window to pick out the "Printers and other Hardware" window.

Now from the "Printers and other Hardware" tab, opt for the “Mouse” tab to pave way for the "Mouse Properties" menu.

Now tag along the "Hardware" tab to opt for the Logitech USB Mouse and pick out the "Properties" tab to pave way for the "Driver" tab.


Get rid of the Logitech USB mouse driver by picking out the "Uninstall" tab once the process gets underway by clicking on the uninstall button, tag along the "OK" tab to wind up the process of removing the Logitech USB mouse driver.

With these instructions you will be able to transform yourself in to a competent technician and you won’t require the services of a computer support crew for this particular troubleshooting scenario.
