Drain flea power laptop
Flea Power (Electronics)[edit]The term "Flea Power", as used in computing, can be found on the Internet, defined as any one of the following:
In computing, the term "Flea Power" can be confusing, because there are many references to draining this power to solve computer problems, which seems to imply that flea power is the cause of the problems. In the case of ESD, precautions should be taken when handling any sensitive electronic devices to prevent damage from the imperceptible but damaging amounts of static electricity which can burn out microscopic circuits in modern integrated circuits. The most common flea power drain methods to resolve computer problems are not a cure for "flea power" as the cause of the problem. Indeed, in the case of capacitors, it's a normal and necessary function of the components, as is standby power including such sources as the clock battery common on most systems. In fact, if you frequently need to drain flea power from a system to clear a condition, the chances are very high this practice is just a way of clearing a condition that occurred somewhere else, such as an actual hardware problem, or an issue in software that creates a condition which can't be cleared without completely draining power and sometimes resetting the system NVRAM. A very common problem with computer motherboards is failed electrolytic capacitors (See Capacitor Plague), which can cause a wide range of random and frustrating problems. Someone skilled in electronics could observe visible signs of failed capacitors and test those that are not obviously leaky, and replace them.[6] References[edit]
