Computer Problems! Hope to Fix it Myself!?

March 15th, 2010 admin 5 comments

My lap top is acting fine, except for my screen. Sometimes it will turn "Snowy"(Like channel 3 on TVs used to be) and will scramble. I smack it lightly, or move the screen forward or back, and it stops. I know it might be a hook up issue. I trained for my A+ but I’m still very afraid to crack open my computer and root around for the answer. Hopefully you guys can help!

The screen of a notebook (or laptop) (as well as the screen of a flip phone) is connected to the video card/circuit with a flat, transluscent "ribbon" type cable (the kind wherein one can see the flat copper ribbons of wire inside). This cable is, of course, hidden from view, on the inside of the notebook.

If you had one of those flat cables in your hand, and you started bending it back and forth, back and forth, enough times, it, like just about anything else, would eventually break… if not physically on the outside, then by means of a tiny crack in one or more of those flat copper ribbon wires on the inside.

Something like that is probably what has happened.

The other possibility is that on one end or another of that flat, transluscent ribbon cable has come loose from its connection inside… either at the end which fits up into the bottom of the LCD screen bracket, or at the other end which connects to the video card/circuit. And either or both of those ends might not actually have a pluggable connector; it/they may be soldered.

How it’s built just depends on the maker of the notebook. Different makers do it differently for different models.

Of course, there’s also a possibility that it’s something else…

…but whatever it is is likely physical, and in the nature of a short of some kind, else wacking it would not bring it back.

Had you not said that wacking it helped, I would have said that it’s either a bad video card/circuit; or corrupt drivers for it. A bad motherboard would, in that case, also be a possibility.

Notebooks are HIGHLY INTEGRATED, and you would not believe how one thing going bad can affect other seemingly unrelated things.

Even though you hve your A+ certification, don’t crack it open unless you really know what you’re doing. It’s really tricky, and easy to break something simply by disassembling. It can also (in fact, it positively will) void your warranty.

That said, if you had the proper manual, you could, with your A+ cert experience, do it. With my HP notebook, for example, I notice that the complete manual instructing how to disassemble and replace parts is right there, on the support page for my particular model, as a PDF file (which I downloaded and have had on the hard drive for as long as I’ve owned and used the machine, but which I’ve never actually used or looked at other than right when I first downloaded it, out of curiosity).

Hope that helps.

How to fix this computer problem?

March 14th, 2010 admin 9 comments

My computer is fast.. firefox and internet is fast..

but when i open a MMORPG my computer either freezes or starts to lag..
or when i go on start button and click a program, the start button freezes.. and when i go on the back round and click on refresh its fast but start button is still frozen..

and my Fire Fox is fast its okay.. i can go to youtube and hotmail.. its just that i cant go on into any other programs like games or iTunes…

this all started happening when my computer got a virus called "Security Tool" (It downloaded it self when i went to this website)..
so i took the virus out and security tool..

and now i have this problem.. Fire Fox is fast but other programs (like games and iTunes) dont work..

please can anyone help me and tell me what i can do to fix this problem..

Maybe something related to the virus is still lurking in your computer or jumping on your hard drives eating your processor memory , i would recommend you download avira and do a full scan. also try making a disk cleanup and delete your cookies. sometimes when the pc get loaded with cookies it makes it so slow. If you did all that and still the problem is there , then i would say your windows got shot , format and re-install it.

how to fix computer when screen says boot disk failure?

March 14th, 2010 admin 13 comments

my computer recently crashed and when i turn it on it says boot disk failure can someone tell me how to fix it? i already connected the cables from the comp to the hdd but it still doesnt work

Might be totally irrelevant but my laptop wouldn’t load and I called and they said something was corrupted and sent me out the disk to format and all the while the cause was a game in the disk drive. once i took it out it started right up.

hope i helped at least a little

HP Pavilion DV6000 – Fix sound / QuickPlay / Power Button Problem

March 14th, 2010 admin 12 comments

Note: Annotations seems to work only for YouTube Flash version, if you have HTML5 enabled, turn it of to ‘understand’ the video.

Here i show you how to fix this problem, you need a KOLT E220709 (Arround 7USD on Ebay).

- If your power button is not working, your sound should be off too, you can move the right kolt to left and fix the power button and sound. If you need the QuickPlay, get a new Kolt and change it.

My power button was fine since I changed the KOLT from QP to get Power&Sound working (I need a new Kolt to repair the QuickPlay). Hope this help, rate and suscribe if worked for you! :-)

Sorry for my bad english ;)
