Com­puter repair com­mon problems

Com­puter repair can be a tricky sub­ject. So much can hap­pen where one day your com­puter will work fine, and the next day it will not come on at all. When this hap­pens try not to panic. It can be a sim­ple fix. If you know what some of the easy fixes are then you might be able to have your pc up and run­ning in no time. Here are some com­mon prob­lems that goes wrong with your com­puter and some cheap com­puter repair fixes.
In my expe­ri­ence one of the com­mon prob­lems when your com­puter will not power up it is because of the cmos bat­tery. The cmos bat­tery is the tiny lit­tle sil­ver disc, that resem­bles a cal­cu­la­tor battery.To replace the cmos bat­tery you will want to dis­con­nect all elec­tric to your com­puter and care­fully remove the cover.The cmos bat­tery will be in the mother board. Gen­tly take it out not to harm your moth­er­board and care­fully replace it with your new one. Make sure that you put the new bat­tery in cor­rectly you may want to take note on the way the old one is in before remov­ing it so that you put the new one in cor­rectly.
Another easy fix in com­puter repair, also involves the cmos bat­tery. If for any rea­son you find your­self locked out of your note­book and you have for­got­ten your pass­word you can reset it by remov­ing the cmos bat­tery and putting it back in. Work­ing on a note­book how­ever, is a lit­tle more dan­ger­ous and tricky then a pc. If you find your­self need­ing to remove the cmos bat­tery in your note­book make sure you remove your power bat­tery and unplug your note­book first to avoid any injury’s.
Some­times your com­puter pow­ers on just fine but wont load your oper­at­ing sys­tem. If this hap­pens com­puter repair is as sim­ple as rein­stalling your oper­at­ing sys­tem. Most com­put­ers have a disc to do this but be advised if you are rein­stalling win­dows you might have to call Microsoft to get your win­dows legally acti­vated.
Another sim­ple com­puter repair is when your power sup­ply stops work­ing. Make sure your unit is unpluged and has no elec­tric going to it. Take off the cover and care­fully unscrew the lit­tle screws that hold in the old one. You will want to put these lit­tle screws some­where safe. Your new power sup­ply should fit right in where the old one is. If your replace­ment is the right size. This com­puter repair takes just a few minutes.
