hey everyone working welcome to part three of this battery saving video series so what we're going to do in this part is we're going to discuss discuss actually a number of battery saving tips that I've discovered so first of all what we're going to do is turn off wireless I know you might think well that sounds kind of stupid but the first thing people people are usually using when they find that they need to maximize their battery life maybe they're just listening to music maybe they're just on an airplane maybe they're just chilling in their room just messing around with their computer I don't know what they're doing so what they got to do is disable um if they don't have their power supply mix next to them or near them disable or should I say turn off wireless so wireless is basically what's constantly searching for and also Bluetooth by the way so wireless if you have a switch on your computer it's basically constantly searching for emails constantly searching for a signal if you have Thunderbird it's obviously always checking downloading emails constantly your virus scans are running on the emails that are being searched into your computer so as these things are being surged at your computer your computer has to process them and that's using your processor so turning wireless off will save you a lot of battery life um actually a lot more than you might think even more than disabling Windows Aero and using a bigger battery really so disabling wireless is the number one thing that I recommend and I'll show you how to do that in the software coming up don't worry I always do that so number two what we're going to do is cut down the use of external devices external devices being say a mouse or maybe an external drive maybe have a flash drive like this one um maybe you have one of these for your mouse that hooks up to your wireless mouse I did a review on my mouse so things like that if the more of these that you have hooked up to your computer the more glamour you're going to use um so that that definitely drains your battery so remove them or shut them down when you're not using them so if you're just on your lap and you're not actually using your mouse yes you can go ahead and unplug that mouse USB now one of my later videos is inevitably going to contradict this because I'm going to end up recommending a laptop cooler for you guys which is going to run on USB but um that's another tip for helping widows run faster as well as um helping your computer last longer so it's not necessarily going to make your battery life better but I guarantee you that removing wireless devices and removing USB devices and external hard drives and stuff when you're just moving when you're just chilling and you have one battery that's going to help you guys a lot and I'm pretty sure I said three things so I'm going to say the last thing is to not use to just remove any discs from your CD drive so you might have noticed when you open up my computer and you go click on my computer your hard drive starts spin a little bit or your your processing light on your laptop comes on and that might seem a little unusual but really it's searching for everything that's new that I've been added may have been added to your computer since you asked clicked on the my computer button so really what you want to do is remove just hit that eject button on the side of computer or just you know whatever you go into your windows and eject it right click on it and eject that disk all the disks that are in there trust me spinning the disk constantly is going to use a lot of batteries so the less hard drive you use the less USB devices use and the less Wireless activity you do is going to they're all going to add up to increase the battery life of your computer so I hope this was tutorial I hope this tutorial was helpful do you guys and I think I'm just going to do a quick a quick little software edit after this to show you guys exactly how to do a few other things I just showed you so thanks for watching this was number 3 and enjoy the software peace alright the first thing I told you guys on my camera was to remove all your USB or actually the second thing but to remove all your USB devices now what you want to do if you are if you haven't already known there will be a little icon down here I mean just oh let me just plug one in for you I'm going to plug in a USB device in a second and you're going to see a little pop-up window saying you know you have a USB device plugged in takes it out alright guys once this is plugged in and you will expand your system tray right here and you'll see this little green icon with a chick coming on it but pardon to run that blinking so I like Bend this again and you'll see this little icon with a check I'm going to right click on that and there's only one option to safely remove hardware go ahead and click that option all the window will come up and hopefully it'll mob soon and here we go it'll say I have you a storage device all you have to do is hit stop okay and boom it's it's safely removable from your computer so I just put out right there so the USB device is gone that will save you guys some battery so the second thing that I was going to tell you guys was to to turn off Ireland's easy on my computer because there's a wireless switch but if you have this right here and Windows Vista there is a a little network icon in your system tray double click on it and connect your disconnect and another window will obviously pop up just hit that disconnect button right there and last but not least remove any devices from your hard from your disk so I'm going to go into my computer and I'll just lit open here and there are no devices in my USB Drive if there was I would right click on it and hit the eject button of course it just pops out an empty tray so that's all I got to show you guys for today hope you enjoy the tasty tutorial and subscribe for more thanks
