Not only for this device, but all smartphones, tablets, laptops in general: how dangerous or harmful can a neodymium magnet be for these devices by simple exposition? I.e., direct contact or too close to each other for some couple of seconds. I ask because I have them in bedroom, generally in different boxes but never knowing when I accidentally put them together since I suffer of impulsive nervousness. If harmful, how can damage be fixed? Thanks beforehand.
Doesn’t anybody look things up anymore? Here’s what an expert says: http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-… Do we need to worry about magnets? “At home you will be surrounded by magnets – they are in every computer, speaker, TV, motor, smartphone, to name just a few applications,” says Matt, “Modern life would simply not be possible without them.” It seems that magnets have unfairly gotten a bad press, but it’s still important to exercise caution when wielding the strongest magnets. “Strong neodymium magnets aren’t toys,” explains Michael, “You may have read in the news about how recently, some magnet toys were getting swallowed by very young kids. This is a very, very serious health risk, since multiple magnets can attract to one another through intestinal walls. We’re talking peritonitis, which means immediate surgery is required to remove them.”
Unless they are giant, I don’t think they will do anything unless you are playing music thru the loudspeaker.
No, neodymium magnets will not affect anything that doesn’t use magnetic storage. Keep them away from hard drives, as it will corrupt the data. Also, do NOT get pinched by one. Phones, tablets, are okay but any laptop with a HDD will not be good. I’m warning you, our family business deals with these magnets and you do not want to be pinched!
Neodymium magnets are very strong magnets and they are safe to handle. The one area where these magnets are not safe is if you swallow them, the removal requires surgery in most cases. Keep these magnets away from young children and pets. You can stack the magnets together safely, it just makes it hard to pull one magnet off the stack. Also, keep these magnets away from magnetic strips on credit cards, cassette tapes, computer floppies and similar recorded items because the magnet will erase the data.
