I have a computer at my cottage is it safe to leave there all winter with no heat on?

Answer 1

yes,
when you go to run it, if it is cold ( and warmed up suddenly like you turned on the heat) you must let it warm up first
the same as a cold glass of water gets "sweat" so will a cold computer when brougt into heat, and having this sweat on the inside, is the same as putting water on it. it will break.
if its hot, and you bring it into the cold, no problems.
Running it cold won't hurt it either, just as long as it stays about the same temp while its powered on.

Answer 2

If the computer is off, it won't be harmed by the cold. Leave it unplugged for safety. To make sure condensation doesn't form, make sure it sits at room temp before turning it on (when you are up there and have the heat on).

Answer 3

No bad great problem. But Take a Cover over around the computer, then leave it.
OKAY ???
10 PT.

Answer 4

Depending on the temperatures it will get to, it should be safe as long as it is relatively free of abnormal moisture and dust/dirt.

Answer 5

I think so as long as the computer is not left on.

Answer 6

Depends on how cold and damp it gets there, so unless you have the $$$$ to replace it, why take the risk ?

Answer 7

if there is any chance of damp getting into the computer then you will need to cover it up otherwise no problems

Answer 8

nope if the temp goes down below freezing point.

Answer 9

yes, as long as it isn't on and you cover it with a towel or something

Answer 10

NO UR COMPUTER WILL FREEZE FOREVER SO DON'T DO IT
