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.
