Tips For Computer Repairing:
1. You should check the electric power outlet. You can plug a small lamp into the same power
outlet that's connected to your computer to make sure the outlet is working. If you have a PC
power switch box reset it, most have a reset button on them.
2. Try restarting your computer. Many software problems will automatically correct themselves when
you restart your system (reboot). If your computer is frozen shut it down if you can't turn the
power off on the computer. Then restart after one minutes and run scandisk on your computer.
3. You should check all of your cables on the back of you system. If your keyboard is not working.
You should make sure it's plugged in, sometimes unplug it and replug it helps. If your mouse isn't
working, make sure it's plugged in also. Take a look at the mouse ball make sure the ball is
clean, also if your mouse uses batteries make sure the batteries are charged and new.
4. Disconnect all peripheral devices (such as a printer or external Zip disk) and restart the your
computer. You should listen for unusual sounds. Can you hare the hard drive making noises? Are the
fans running? Are the lights on the PC and the monitor.
5. Make the sure the power is off and your computer is unplugged. Then you can look inside your
computer for wires that aren't plugged in all the way. Some cards (video, sound, network) need to
be removed then reinstalled. Try starting Windows in safe mode by hit the F8 key at boot-up. You
can also try starting your computer from an boot disk (start-up disk), you don't have one? make
sure you have one put in a save place!
6. If Windows can't find a device (CD-ROM - Modem, act.) go to the start > settings > control
panel, and double-click the system icon, and click the Device Manager tab. If your new drive is
shown with an exclamation point " !" next to it, right click on your new drive and delete it.
Windows will ask you to reboot, then reboot windows this time windows should find your new drive.
7. Did you install new software or new hardware like a new video card? That can be the problem,
think what did you install or change before the problem started. You can try uninstall or removing
the software and or hardware from your pc. Try to get your PC back to the point before you
installed or made changes to your system.
If Still It's not Working Then you have to call the computer repair tech service.
