Devices we handle

Common causes of data loss around Appleton

Northeast Wisconsin winters bring heavy snow, bitter cold, and occasional ice storms that bring down lines and knock out power across the Fox Cities. Cold, dry indoor air builds static, and devices carried in from a frozen car can collect condensation inside. Let laptops and cameras warm to room temperature before powering them on, touch something grounded before handling bare drives, and put desktops and home servers on a UPS so they shut down cleanly when the power drops. Ice fishing season also claims its share of phones.

Spring and summer bring thunderstorms with lightning, hail, and heavy rain, and snowmelt and downpours can push water into basements, where many Appleton homes keep computers and storage. Low-lying areas near the Fox River can see water problems after major rains. Keep equipment off basement floors, run a dehumidifier through the humid summer months, and keep a copy of important files in the cloud or at another address. A drive that starts clicking after a storm should be powered off rather than retried.
