PC Repair Basics

By Thomas Cole


Computer repair can be complicated. There are times when a computer can still boot and run yet there is a problem with the hardware. With this type of problem, you need to fix the issue immediately. If hardware repairs go untied the unrepaired concern is probably about to result in more problems down the road. Some detective work is needed if the computer being diagnosed have more than one component involved.

As an example, what will you do if the keyboard or mouse stopped working? The first thing that should be attempted is unplugging the units and plugging them back into the device and then restart the computer. If the keyboard or mouse is wireless network try to reinstall new batteries and ensure to reconnect to the main unit via pressing the reset button for the mouse and keyboard.

The same issue can also happen to your screen. If the screen remains blank even if the keyboard is working fine, then you need to check if the connection to the video port is loose. The connection might get loose due to the bumping and movement that occurs on a daily basis. That is why it is important that the connections are first being checked before getting upset or calling for professional help. But if the problem remains, then it would be possible to trace the problem to the video card or the pixels are dying. So the only solution is to have it professionally repaired or have it replaced.

But sometimes, you might not be so lucky and the whole computer doesn't boot up. Now this is quite challenging. It is advisable to identify the issue by removing the components one by one, the catch is if you don't have another working component to use then you need to call specialist.

If you notice a loud sound coming from the fan it might possess a build-up of dust or that it is not properly functioning. This is certainly a remarkably important area of the computer as it cools off the inside workings. Overheating the computer can damage the other parts of the computer. The best option is to get the computer in to a local computer repair shop and ask for the computer to be cleaned up. This process enables the technician to go through and thoroughly clean out the inside of the computer case. Technicians will also remove any unused or unwanted programs that can slow down your computer. As with a car a tune up is probably the best things to be done to your computer to keep it running properly and error free.
