Computer Repair Tips - Why Should I Fix My Own Computer

Posted by Play | Posted in , , , , , | Posted on 12:02

Okay, you're not sure if it should be monkeying around on the computer. You still have a guarantee, a long-term contract of service and everything, right? Yes, I understand. But what I do not know whether the industry support PC dies or moves slowly offshore.

Yep ... my "bread and butter" work (the food on the table for me has more than 18 + years) is going the way of buggy whips and horse-drawn carriage.

Because computers are becoming smaller, morecompact appliance-type desktop support technician will be obsolete and useless. And what is a Razr cell phone or BlackBerry, if not of computerized communication device? You can say, Star Trek?

Okay, that is, I'm out of a job in the future, but what does that mean to you today?

Hands-on offering technical assistance costly in the long term. NOTE: Dell, HP and eMachine invest millions in low-cost "on the telephone" help desk support. You are notSet the number of "boots on the ground" technical as before. This means that if you have a problem that requires some skill to go to work, you go on a long waiting list.

Even worse to the "Big Boys" are quietly slipping into the fine print of all the most recent and their support service guarantees, the concept of "replaceable consumable parts.

What are the parties' consumer replaceable?

I'm glad you asked. Basically, there are more than ten or twelveessential hardware components in a modern computer. And most of the major PC manufacturers have made sure at least half of them are no longer covered under their warranty or service contracts.

For example, one of the largest PC maker, Dell does not give them more CD-ROM, DVD, floppy drives, power supplies are (PC) power plant, or the motherboard (this is the advice that contains video, audio, modem or network modules) in their"CompleteCare (TM)" Agreement for the consumer (home office) market. The CompleteCare (TM) "is not" free "on the street.

And if they cover a bad part, the state, which lower down in the contract that "according to our choice of (helpdesk), technicians, or send a replacement part for installing on your computer to the device or on our computer repair ship plant.

Got it?

That's right. Even with a serviceAgreement, which will be the part that you can send, in order to add or you can send back to them for repair. See what I mean by "Consumer Replaceable? Oh yeah by the way the parties (which send you all alone) will probably be renewed for the installation." No, you do not even need a new one.

Now I will not vote for Dell. I really like, are in a really good when it comes to technical support. But all the PC makers do, "Consumer-replaceablePart "thing. You can use its" consumer-replaceable part "with a little help from my mini-guide very convenient in July or repair your car to save expensive computer and let their geek-to-go replace it for you.

So in the next few years computers will be like any other appliance large. The maintenance and care of their few "moving", the parties are the sole responsibility, warranty or not. When you last saw oneRefrigerator repair guy?

The options are picked up from you ... The choice is yours, your time, your portfolio.

Build Your Own Computer, Why You Should Do It Now!

I wrote this article for the people sitting on the fence. Start by asking, "Should I try to build a computer?"

Look at this way. Computers are only eleven elements, all of which either snap together or plug-in. If you think you can connect just eleven items together, then you may be able to build a computer. I'm ready to argue that it is difficult to put together a bicycle for Christmas, how to build a computer.

Is therefore necessaryA few screwdrivers, a flat, the other a Phillips. This is the entire toolkit. Therefore, there is no special equipment to buy. Most families have already many screwdrivers.

And what can be built? Exactly the machine you want. You do not need a PC with a video card unless you want, or pay a smaller hard drive. Are the rules imposed by manufacturers are exempt. The machine is an item that you want, how you wantit.

Another advantage is the knowledge that you win. I can guarantee that when you build a computer, you will never be the little tricks that do not play by. They are the masters of the machine, and not vice versa.

You might ask: "Where can I find the pieces I need to build with us?"

My answer is the same place found this article. Right here on the Internet. What is a web search for "computer parts" and see how manyThere are vendors out there. If you prefer, a business that many of the places you can walk into your Web-search-in places, as well as in cyberspace.

Where exactly as do the parties come together eleven of the major concerns, there are many books on this topic. I wrote one, and then other people, and almost all offer good basic instructions.
