I have never turned on my PC for last one year :(...........because now i am working in dubai and no one in my home in India uses my PC

So do u think my pc will get damaged after not being used for a long interval of tiime

the pc is protected from dust and stuff like that as i have packed it nicely before leaving for dubai 1 year ago.........:(

the data inside that 200 GB HDD is sooooo precious to me:grin::grin::grin:......:?:?:?:?

If it's protected from dust, moisture and heat, then all should be safe....

^^ if it is covered,then it will be ok.. no need to worry.. also before switching it on.. use an air blower (not a vaccum cleaner)

Until some one licks the HDD's disc surface it will be safe....:D

From my experience, a vacuum cleaner works better than an air blower....
