Ok. I have a server setup on my notebook. I know that everything won't stay forever. I have a website running and want to make it availble as much as possible. I do not want to ware my notebook out by turning it on all the time. I want to let the notebook have like a shortbreak after being on. How should I do it time wise? (Example: 30 min break after 4 hour on time) |

I also use a notebook but have a desktop close by... If in your case you only have a notebook it should be safe "if it is a newer model" to leave on indefinately as long as thier is adequate ventilation and a cool environment... It doesn't mean you should leave it on for 6 months...
A good 8 to 12 hour break is good for your note while plugged in to the outlet... It is important that you do turn off your notebook atleast once every two weeks for 8 to 12 hours to let the cmos battery charge up...
Its also a good idea to ask your notebooks manufacturer about this very same question... Tell me if possible what they tell you about it :) _________________ Victor B. Gonzalez

Quoting the tech @ Compaq User to User support forum:
""Although, there is no such requirement to restart or let it cool off, I still suggest that you restart the system, or allow it to rest for half-an-hour in one day (24 hours). This will maximize the performance with minimum wear and tear
As the Presario 1700 series is a consumer model, it might not be able to take the load of a server for too long, so make sure that it does not overheat.
Rest everything should be fine." "
I have Compaq Presario 1700 btw. :-) |

Cool, I once had a cmos battery failure and was unable to turn my notebook on... When I called sony they asked if I ever turn it off (I said hardly) they said at least once every two weeks for 8 to 12 hours so the cmos battery could charge up...
I took their word and instead now turn it off every week ;)
Cool you found out what compaq had to say... Its a wise question without a doubt... It sucks major to turn your notebook on one day and it then just it doesn't want to turn on :|
Happy Serving tdkyo ;) _________________ Victor B. Gonzalez
