Comuter screen

Would putting a glass sheet over a computer screen be okay until I can order shielding materials soon?

How would I ground it?

Re: Comuter screen

putting a glass sheet over a computer screen won't do anything.

Hey Kathy! I have totally been through that whole process of trying to reduce emf from my computer. Here's what I've found:

1) Clear emf shielding does not work. Even if the advertising claims it will. Very disappointing, but true.
2) Building a shield around the computer using metal sheeting specifically created to block emf is effective. I bought a sheet from these guys: http://www.magnetic-shield.com/
- and it works. It lowers the emf coming off my laptop (tested it with Trifield).
3) However, distance is key. I find that getting the hard drive as far away from you as possible is the way to go! There is much less emf coming off your flat screen than your hard drive.
4) BEST thing you can do for yourself (besides create distance!) is buy a trifield emf meter! You need facts. You need to know *what* is emitting the most emf in your home - then you can start to fix the problem.
5) What I found when I scanned my home (with Trifield and socket tester) is that my computer (once far enough away from me) wasn't the culprit - my WIRING was. Almost ALL my sockets were not properly grounded! This resulted in "dirty electricity" filling my house - electricity that is not contained by the wiring, but emanated from the wiring. So test your sockets!

Good luck!

Re: Comuter screen

Anna,

Thanks for the computer tips. We don't need to buy things that don't work.

I have to buy the trifeld meter & most importantly the socket tester!

Know we have wiring problems. Working on our budget. For now I'm unplugging everything after use.

Don't know your area, what fees average for you.

Thanks Again,
Kathy

I have been having major problems with the computer so I put some of that thick foil you can buy at Home Depot in front of the box & plugs. Then wrapped the wires in thick foil. I also have a glare reflector I bought from lessemf to put in front of the screen. It supposed to cut down on emf also. Anyway when I put the foil back there it helped a great deal.

Just block it all up!

Re: Comuter screen

Hi Kathy,

Back when I was having bad emfs from my computer I also used, similar to what Loni has mentioned, heavy-duty aluminum baking foil which I made up into a shield, and that was helpful. I have since, with help from Dell techs, worked out the problems causing the emfs on my computer and no longer have to use the shield.

Good luck,
Diane

Re: Computer helps; formerly Comuter screen

Hi, Loni,

No, I doubt it--they helped me in 2006 or 2007 and I have long forgotten their names. Sorry.

But I just called Dell tech support and told them I needed help to remediate emfs that were causing me problems with my new computer (my computer was new and I had 30 days free tech support). For the next 30 days, almost every day or 2, I spent on the phone with a techie or 2, up to 4 or 5 hours at a time, some days. Seriously! We tried all sorts of things.

A hardware tech from India found that my model had emf reverberation with the battery in place so I removed the battery entirely--I already knew I went bonkers when it charged, so I needed it out when I was plugged in anyway; he explained that tho you can disable the wireless cards on your computer, that doesn't mean you are not going to continue to get some emfs from them, but it helps, and so we tried that first; then later he talked me thru removing a wireless card and broadband card (taking out the cards entirely voided my warranty and so I actually waited about a year before doing that, because I had free hardware support for 1 year).

Software techies from the US helped me change all the settings so that the computer boots up faster and uses less energy over-all when running, they talked me thru settings which would override automatic downloads and updates, pop-ups, you name it..... They were a huge help to me. I worked with 7 different techies in all, I think. I have mentioned this countless times at this forum, but I have yet to notice anyone else having tried this. I cannot say whether this will or not work on today's Dell computers, but it did back then. I went from not being able to be in the same room with my computer, to being able to use it 2 or 3, and then later, 5 to 6 hours at a time.

Then I later went to a homeopath in NY for detoxing various toxins in my body and after about 3 months of being quite ill and reacting more due to the detoxing, I got to the point I could spend 9 to 12 hours on my computer comfortably (not that I usually would, but I do now only use the computer on weekends, usually for that long on Saturdays, due to family issues which keep me quite busy otherwise).

Good luck, Loni.

Thanks Diane, that's a load of info. I'll copy the list and call them. Great you remember all that. Wow, I'm impressed! Loni

The foil really helped me but I think some of these other suggestions will make it even better. I need to spend more time on the computer if I can. Loni
