Computer Repair Tips

Before making a computer repair you need to prepare the equipment in the computer repair whether it is hardware or software.


For hardware that needs to be provided such as screwdrivers, avo-meters and pliers. these tool is a very basic need, if a tool like a screwdriver, and pliers and avo meter is not present do not try to do computer repair because it would an obstacles. While for software problem, you must provided the operating system CD, standard applications such as Microsoft Office and anti virus. Also drivers required for computer hardware. After all of the equipment are present you may start to check the damaged computer. Before taking action against the broken computer note the electrical power cable that is connected to the central processing unit (cpu) to electric source. disconnect the electric connection from the Power source.


Power Supply
After power lines cut off then started to open the CPU cover (casing), then pull all the cables installed from the components to the mainboard, as the data cable between the hard disk, cd-rom, and power supply.


Do check the output voltage from power supply is still in accordance with the information listed in power supply case or not. If it does not fit then do repairs on the power supply or replace with a new one. repair or replace the power supply depends on the heavy or light the damage to the power supply. If the damage is severe (short circuit occurred and fire)it would be better to it replaced with a new one.


Memory
If at the initial examination of the power supply and voltage measures were all still in good condition then check the memory chips, particularly at the yellow gold embedded into the motherboard. Perform cleaning the yellow gold part with a rubber eraser.


Cards besides memory, we clean all cards, such as VGA card, sound card, modem, lan card, TV-Tunner card (internal TV Tunner).


Processor
Processor hold a very important role in the computer system because it is the center of data processing. Processor temperature should be maintained at the time of data processing, therefore, processor usually equipped with a cooling fan, to set the temperature of the processor does not exceed the maximum limit prescribed. If during the checking process processor temperatures exceed the limits You should do the cleaning to heatsink and fan. This thing done if the fan function is still normal (spin well). If the fan is not functioning properly you should carry out replacement process with a new fan. Physical damage is rarely occurs on the processor but do not close the possibility of damage to the processor. To prove it, try using processor is on a different motherboard.


Mainboard / Motherboard
Motherboard is not less important as the processor. Motherboard often damaged due to the lack of stable electricity, turn off the computer by not doing the right shutdown process (directly off the electricity), short circuit (electrical short circuit) due to dust.


Notice the embedded legs components, whether there is burned out or not, if burned out present then there is a possibility the motherboard is damaged. If the motherboard is damaged the solution is you should do a motherboard replacement, cause to replace such components is difficult because of its small size. Hopefully the above tips can help.
