1 Backup your laptop/computer if possible. If your computer suddenly dies, the opportunity to back it up is lost. However, if you back up your computer at the first sign of trouble, you might be able to prevent being stuck. Signs such as a pink tinge on the computer screen when it boots up is a sign that the backlight might be ready to go out. Or, if you notice that your system isn't booting up as quickly as it used to, backup your sensitive information.
2 Remove or password protect important files. After you've backed up your computer, you can either delete or password protect sensitive files right before you ship your computer out for repair.
3 Clear your browser history, clear passwords, delete cached information, remove cookies and clear authenticated sessions. Doing so adds an added layer of protection. For example, if you use an online email service on which you have set the cookies to remember you on the computer, anyone using your computer will be able to sign into your email account.
4 Empty your recycle bin. The files that you deleted from your computer go into the Recycle bin. Empty it before you send your computer out for repair
