What Should You Do During Computer Emergencies?

Emergency response preparation minimises damage and improves recovery chances through proper immediate actions and professional contact procedures.

Immediate Actions for System Crashes

• Power down immediately to prevent additional damage from continued operation. Avoid repeated restart attempts that may worsen problems or cause data corruption.
• Document error messages by photographing or writing down specific error codes, messages, and symptoms for accurate diagnosis and faster resolution.
• Avoid DIY repairs during emergencies as panic-driven actions often worsen problems and reduce recovery chances through improper procedures.
• Contact emergency support immediately at 07405 149750 for professional guidance and response scheduling.

Liquid Damage Emergency Procedures

• Power off immediately and disconnect all power sources including AC adapters and batteries if removable. Speed prevents extensive damage from electrical short circuits.
• Avoid rice or heat as these common myths can cause additional damage to delicate electronic components. Professional cleaning required for successful recovery.
• Position vertically to drain liquid away from internal components while awaiting professional response. Avoid shaking or tilting that spreads contamination.
• Document liquid type as different substances require different cleaning procedures. Water, coffee, soda, and alcohol need specific treatment approaches.

Data Loss Emergency Response

• Stop using the device immediately to prevent overwriting deleted files or worsening corruption. Continued use reduces recovery chances significantly.
• Avoid recovery software during emergencies as improper use can overwrite recoverable data permanently. Professional tools and expertise required for critical situations.
• Secure the device in safe location away from additional damage while awaiting professional response. Proper handling prevents further complications.
• List critical files for recovery prioritisation, helping technicians focus on most important data first during emergency procedures.
