Thunderstorms are very frequent in summer. Can I use my laptop when it thunders?

Thunderstorms are very frequent in summer, and many friends may have a question, whether they can play laptops when it thunders. Actually, it depends. Strong lightning voltage will cause the semiconductor integrated circuit to be instantly broken down and lose its original polarity. Therefore, the integrated circuit will be damaged. A computer is composed of a large number of integrated circuits. When the integrated circuit is broken, the computer is broken. In addition, the voltage of lightning is very high. Instantaneous high-voltage discharge will decompose and burn nitrogen in the air, release a lot of heat and burn the computer. Furthermore, the type of lightning belongs to static electricity, which is the first killer of integrated circuits.

Whether the lightning rod is installed in the place where we live: firstly, determine whether the lightning rod (or lightning arrester) is installed in the place where we live, which can effectively avoid the damage of lightning to household appliances, but it is still not recommended to use TV, computer, electric light and household appliances in thunderstorm weather.

Don't plug in the laptop: If you want to use the laptop, please use the battery in the laptop (don't plug it in for charging) and connect the power cord, which may be damaged by lightning.

Don't use the internet: don't use the internet, don't connect the network cable, and unplug it if you use the wireless network.

Unplug other household appliances: Thunderstorm weather will not only damage the computer, but also unplug the power sockets of TV, air conditioner and other household appliances in time.

Charging before a thunderstorm: You should have a good habit of charging the notebook battery at ordinary times, so that even if a thunderstorm suddenly comes and the power is unplugged, the notebook battery still has enough power to use.

Don't connect other plug-ins and firmware: except don't connect peripheral power supply to charge; Not suitable for wireless networks, and do not connect other plug-in peripherals (such as printers) to your computer.

Don't use a desktop: if the laptop can't use the network; If you continue to use the desktop without connecting the power, then don't use it in thunderstorm weather, because the desktop must be connected to the power. More susceptible to thunderstorm weather.
