Question electronics

cloudff7

Why do some electronic devices that were working stop working if they remain unpowered for long periods? Is there an explanation for this and is it possible to avoid it?

  • I think the OP's context is game systems (a couple of the earlier questions were regarding LCD display longevity, and capacitor life). Game systems are made down to a cost, nothing the OP can do will preserve those products indefinitely (you'll be lucky if nothing within them fails within a few decades) - and it's more practical to run the games themselves forever in emulators and on newer hardware in future.

    You could flip that question around, and ask what failures are known to occur to those products (search gaming forums to discover that). And maybe keep some spares so you can swap things out.
