heres a great site stumbled on yesterday,lots of info
Extend the life of electronic gadgets
here are 2 samples,
Extend the life of your flat-screen TVAverage life span: Ten years or longer.
Preventive medicine: Keep your fingers off the screen. "The pressure causes pixel burnout," says Robbie Baldwin, a flat screen--TV salesman at Best Buy in Baltimore. Because parts can fail (read: melt) if a TV overheats, keep the vents clear so they can "pull in air to cool the unit," says Dan Wiersma, senior vice president of service for Sony Electronics. Dust with a soft, dry cloth, and skip the cleaning spray, which can cloud the screen.
Most common ailment: The screen has a burned-in image that never seems to go away, and the picture is a little fuzzy.
Diagnosis and treatment: Plasma screens, especially older ones, are sensitive to "burn in" problems. Leave Comedy Central on all day and its logo may never disappear. (Newer models don't have as many burn-in issues, but it's best to turn off the TV every few hours.) A repair service can recalibrate a slightly hazy picture for as little as $250 or as much as $750, depending on the damage and the shop.
When to pull the plug: A malfunctioning flat-screen TV that's more than five years old should probably be replaced. Labor and parts run high, so a new model may cost you less than fixing an old one.
Extend the life of your DVD player
Average life span: : Four to five years.
Preventive medicine: Keep it cool. Avoid stacking other components on top of or under a DVD player, and clear space around it, especially if it's in a cramped cabinet. When moving your player, always turn it off before unplugging it, and walk around corners slowly. Delicate interior parts can malfunction when they're jostled.
Most common ailment: Skippity-skip goes the DVD, if it bothers to play at all.
Diagnosis and treatment: It's possible that the DVD lens, which sits under the pop-out tray, has a film of skip-inducing dust. Use a DVD-player cleaning kit on the lens. Other kits can remove scratches from discs -- another potential culprit. To keep discs free of scratches and dust, store them in their cases.
When to pull the plug: When you've tried cleaning the machine and your discs still won't play, move on. While repair shops can fix many mechanical problems, DVD players are now so inexpensive that it might be wiser to replace a malfunctioning model.
lots more about cell phone, ect ect,
